There is some confusion here.

Wavelengths are measured in units of length, such as meters, kilometers, nanometers, etc.

Frequency is measured in hertz.

Is an X-ray wave a mechanical wave?

No, an X-ray is not a mechanical wave. An X-ray is an electromagnetic wave. However, in polar molecules, an X-ray can cause the molecule to vibrate rapidly, just like a microwave oven can.


What has the longest wave length a Gamma wave microwave visible light or x-ray?

From that list, microwaves have the longest wavelength. Those four items would be arranged by wavelength like this: - Gamma ray (shortest) - X-ray - Visible light - Microwave (longest)


Which form of radiation form the sun has the shortest?

The form of radiation from the sun that has the shortest wave length is known as a gamma ray. The next type of ray that is longer than a gamma ray is an x-ray.


What is the wave length os soft x-ray and hard x-rays?

Hard x-rays have wavelengths below 0.2nm-0.1nm .Soft X rays have wavelengths above.


What are the examples of electromagnetic wave that we can find in electromagnetic spectrum?

-- a radio wave -- a heat wave -- a yellow wave -- a blue wave -- an ultraviolet wave -- an X-ray -- a gamma ray


What has higher frequency an X-ray or a tv wave?

An X-ray is a high frequency (high energy) electromagnetic wave. It is much higher in frequency than any broadcast wave. The only electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than the X-ray is the gamma ray.


What electromagnetic wave has more energy than an x-ray?

A gamma ray has more energy than an X-ray.


Is an x-ray a compressional wave?

No.An x-ray is an electromagnetic wave. The varying electric and magnetic fields of which it is composed are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.It is a transverse wave, not compressional.


Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?

gamma ray


What is the length of an ultraviolet wavelength compared to an x-ray wavelength?

The wavelength of the x-ray is shorter.


Is it possible to diffract x rays?

My guess would be that you can't because of the difference in wave length between x-rays and the visual spectrum.


How are wave length and wave frequency are related?

velocity = frequency x wavelength
