How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
What is a starlike object that gives off enormous amounts of radio waves and xrays?
star like a sun big but not really starlike and xray gives off radio waves ......
What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
What speed do radio waves travel in air?
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra violet, XRays, and gamma rays are all part of the "electromagnetic spectrum". They are all electromagnetic radiation and they all travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). The only difference between them is their frequencies (or wavelengths)
Why xrays dangerous and not radio waves?
Although radio waves, visible light and X-rays are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, x-rays travel with a much higher energy at a very short wavelength and create ionizing radiation. When an x-ray passes through organic matter the denser matter will block some of the radiation and that radiation will be deposited in the matter creating some cell damage.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
Radio waves have longer wavelengths than xrays?
Yes, radio waves have TREMENDOUSLY longer wavelengths than X-rays. This comparison is like comparing a grain of sand to the planet Earth. There is a very big difference in size.
What is the ascending order of the eight electromagnetic spectrum waves base from their wavelength?
Shortest wavelength is gamma rays. Next longer wavelength is with Xrays. Then Ultraviolet, visible radiations, infra red, microwaves, radio waves with shorter wavelength and radio waves with longer wavelength
What are examples of electromagnetic energy?
Examples of electromagnetic energy are radio waves, Xrays, optical light waves, infrared waves, sunlight and lightening.
Do solar flares prouduce xrays and radio waves and clouds of atomic particles?
Because of the radiasion

What do xrays contain as an element?
X-rays, just like sunlight or radio waves, doesn't consistent of an element.
How do rays compare to radio waves?
X-rays have a higher frequency; therefore, a shorter wavelength, than radio waves. Xrays have a higher energy than radio waves. Radio waves travel easily through the atmosphere. X-rays suffer significant attenuation passing through the atmosphere. Radio waves are non-ionizing, not carrying enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules-that is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. The electromagnetic radiation of radio waves has sufficient energy only for excitation, the movement of an electron to a higher energy state. X-rays are ionizing, producing charged ions when passing through matter. X-rays will deposit images on photographic plates (radio waves will not).
What is the electro-magetic spectrum?
gamma rays, xrays, uv light, visible light, infra red, microwaves, radio waves
