Gama rays and radio waves together with the light for example are all electromagnetic waves. The properties of the waves depends on the frequency. If they have higher frequency, the have also higher energy which could be absorbed by body. This list shows electromagnetic spectrum. The waves are ordered from the lowest frequency to highest, which is the most dangerous.
- radio
- microwave
- infrared
- visible
- ultraviolet
- x-ray
- gama rays
However, the distance from the source of the radiation is important. That's why are scientists arguing about the harmfulness of mobile phones. On the other hand, well protected and shielded nuclear power plant is absolutely harmless.

Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
frequency energy wavelength
The radio waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are called what?
From longest wave length to shortest (least energy to most, lowest frequency to highest) the spectrum is: Radio & TV - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible Light - Ultraviolet - X-Rays - Gamma Rays
What are the careers of radio waves?
The most common carrer involving Radio Waves is a Radio DJ. The average Radio DJ makes $26,555 a year. On-the-job training is generally required to become a Radio DJ.
What is a polarimeter most commonly used for?
Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of transverse waves. The most common polarimetry waves are electromagnetic waves (e.g. radio or light waves).
The type of radio waves that are diffracted the most around small buildings are?
AM Waves diffract more than FM waves.
Do gamma rays carry the least amount of energy of the EM waves?
No, the most. Remember, as you go from radio waves to gamma rays across the spectrum, the frequency and energy increases.
Is gamma rays harmful?
Yes very, They are the most powerful/dangerous of all light waves.
What are are the name of all the rays in science?
Well... in radiation waves there are (from most dangerous to least) Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Ultra-Violet, Visible light, Infra-Red, Micro-Waves, Radio-waves - collectively known as "electromagnetic radiation". Hope This helps
Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
frequency energy wavelength
Which electromagnetic wave transfers the most energy?
greatest amount of energy by gama rays least by radio waves
The radio waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are called what?
From longest wave length to shortest (least energy to most, lowest frequency to highest) the spectrum is: Radio & TV - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible Light - Ultraviolet - X-Rays - Gamma Rays
What electromagnetic waves are the most energized?
Gamma Radiation
What are the most penetrating of all of the electromagnetic waves?
gamma
What are the most penetrating of all of the electromagnetic waves are?
gamma
What are gamma waves?
hazers OK well a gamma wave is the shortest wave length and the highest Frequency of electromagnetic waves ! one of the most hostile waves ever !
What type of wave is the most powerful?
Gamma waves are the most powerful.
Which type of electromagnetic wave is most dangerous to people?
The gamma waves. They are those that have the highest frequency (10^20 Hz and higher). Just below are the X rays (not so good when you're exposed to them alot), then the untraviolet rays (hence the solar cream), then the visible light (from purple to red). Under that you have Infrareds and radio waves.
