Are Xrays transverse or longitudinal waves?
X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves
What is the smallest electromagnetic wave?
That depends on what you call "small". -- Gamma rays are smaller than x-rays, but -- x-rays are smaller than ultraviolet rays, but -- ultraviolet rays are smaller than blue light waves, but -- blue light waves are smaller than green, yellow, and orange light waves, but -- any of those are smaller than red light waves, but -- red light waves are smaller than heat waves, but -- heat waves are smaller than radio waves.
How the wave lenght and radio vary from gamma rays?
Radio waves; microwaves; infrared; visible light; ultraviolet; Roentgen rays (a.k.a. X-rays); gamma rays.Radio waves; microwaves; infrared; visible light; ultraviolet; Roentgen rays (a.k.a.

What waves make up the electromagntic spectrum?
Radio waves, TV Wwaves, Radar waves, Microwaves, Infrared Rays, Visabe Light, Ultraviolet rays, X-rays, Gamma rays, cosmic rays.
What are ultraviolet and visible light called?
Ultraviolet light, visible light, X-rays, microwaves, radio waves, infrared waves, and gamma rays are all on the spectrum of light, are all electromagnetic waves (EM waves). Any EM wave can be considered light. EM waves are composed of photons, which has properties of both a particle and a wave. The difference between different waves on the EM wave/light spectrum is their frequency. For example, radio waves have a very low frequency, microwaves have a slightly higher frequency, then infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays, etc.
Why gama rays are rays but not waves?
Light "rays" are both waves and particles, that is the nature of light. Thus Gamma Rays is the name for a type of light that is in essence just the same as visible light, radio waves, heat and X rays.
Are Xrays transverse or longitudinal waves?
X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves
Why micro waves are called waves but not rays?
Light "rays" are both waves and particles, that is the nature of light. Thus Micro Waves is the name for a type of light that is in essence just the same as visible light, radio waves, heat and X rays.
What kind of wave are electromagnetic waves?
radio waves
How are visible light ultraviolet light infrared light x-rays gamma rays microwaves and radio waves related?
In that they are all electromagnetic waves.
What are the kind of EM waves?
radio waves, microwaves, infared, visible light, UV light, x rays, gamma rays
What waves are used to penetrate solids and used in doctor's offices?
Ex-rays are and are used in doctors offices and airports! and sometimes to see how big your feet are! ;)
What is the smallest electromagnetic wave?

What waves has a shorter wavelength than visible light waves?
UV, x-rays, gamma rays.
What are the seven kinds of EM waves?
radio waves, microwaves, infared, visible light, UV light, x rays, gamma rays
Are infrared rays electromagnet waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible light rays?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
