Gamma rays are very high energetic rays whereas radio waves are very weak in strength. However, radio waves can travel far distances and have large wavelength. Radio waves have large application in the field of telecommunication.

What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays


Do x-rays pass through matter more slowly than radio waves?

X-rays are a form of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation passes through human tissue with no difficulty. Gamma can only be blocked by an incredibly large mass of solid matter, such as extremely thick lead. Radio waves can be reflected or interfered with by a number of different transition metals. Radio waves have a larger range than gamma radiation because they are broadcasted from a medium rather than a source.


Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?

X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.


Why does gamma radiation damage body cells but radio waves do not?

The energy of a electromagnetic wave increases as the wavelength decreases. Radio waves have a very long wavelength compared to gamma rays. Since gamma rays have so much energy, they can change molecules by "kicking out" electrons with their energy. Where as radio waves don't have enough energy to effect many compounds.


Which has longer wavelength radio or gamma?

radio waves! radio waves have wavelengths longer than about a millimeter, while visible light has wavelengths around 750 billionths to 400 billionths of a meter.

Which of the following is not a form of radiation A Radio waves B Sound waves C Microwaves D Gamma waves?

Sound waves are not a form of radiation. Radio waves, microwaves, and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through space. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate.


How are gamma rays and radio waves similar?

Gamma rays and radio waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation. They differ in terms of wavelength and frequency, with gamma rays having the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Both types of radiation can be utilized for various applications, ranging from medical imaging using gamma rays to communication technology using radio waves.
