X rays radio waves

Answer 1

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).

Answer 3

Infrared rays have longer wavelength and lower frequency than x-rays. They carry

less energy, and have less penetrating capacity.

Answer 4

X-rays have much shorter wavelength than radio waves.

Otherwise, the two are identical in every possible way.

Answer 5

They are smaller
