Do gamma rays penetrate more than x rays?
Gamma rays have more energy than visible light rays. Visible light has a longer wavelength. Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, and have the most energy of all electromagnetic radiation.
Why do harmful x-rays and ultraviolet rays from the sun not harm us on earth?
X-rays and gamma rays from the sun are black by the atmosphere. The ozone layer partially blocks out ultraviolet rays, but some do get through, creating a risk of sunburn, skin cancer, and eye damage.
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?
Gamma rays
What makes a star visible?
The emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, infrared radiation, visible light, microwaves, and radio waves. These emissions are all measurable and are also used to determine how far the star is and how fast/far it is moving away from our galaxy based on the expanding universe theory.
What is another name for ultraviolet rays?
UV rays
What electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?
The highest energy are the gamma rays.
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.
Which electromagnetic waves have higher frequencies than ultraviolet waves?
Ultra violet light starts just above the visible violet.
What kinds of solar energy are absorbed by earth's atmosphere?
ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays......
What aspect of earth makes it difficult to observe Gamma rays X-rays and Ultraviolet rays?
high-energy radiation like X-rays and gamma rays are absorbed by our atmosphere
What is the harmful energy that comes from the sun?
Some harmful energy that comes from the Sun are ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays.yes you are right! No not really it is called UltraViolet Radiation
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
Do both x rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
Type of radiant energy is invisible to humans?
-- radio -- heat -- infrared -- ultraviolet -- microwave -- X-rays -- gamma rays -- cosmic rays
How the wave lenght and radio vary from gamma rays?

Do x-rays have more energy than gamma rays?
No, gamma rays have the highest energy of all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
