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.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has the smallest frequency?
Power frequencies has a low frequencies of 60 to 50 hertz, it is weak radiation from ac circuits.
What waves are apart of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Everything from long radio waves up to gamma radiation
What has the longest wave length infrared radiation radio wave ultra violet radiation visible light micro waves gamma radiation or x rays?
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths.
Which of the following is not a form of radiation A Radio waves B Sound waves C Microwaves D Gamma waves?
Sound waves
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
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
Radiation can come from the sun and where else?
Radiation can come in two forms: particles and waves. Radiation can come from the sun, gamma rays, UV rays, radio waves, and X-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.
What radiation has the smallest frequency?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency, Gamma rays have the smallest wave-length.
Is there a difference between radiation and nuclear radiation?
Radiation generally describes non harmful waves such as radio waves and light wave while nuclear radiation usually describes emission of harmful gamma rays.
What are the categories of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Long waves, medium waves, Short waves coming under Radio waves. Microwaves Infra red Visible light Ultra violet X-radiation Gamma radiation
Does radio waves always travel the speed of light?
Radio waves, like light, is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Other types of electromagnetic radiation include X-rays, infrared radiation, and gamma rays. All electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light.
