Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays
are different only in wavelength (frequency).
The sun radiates all of them.

What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
Which waves have shorter wavelengths radio waves or xrays?
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio, heat, infra-red, visible light, and ultra-violet.
What is a starlike object that gives off enormous amounts of radio waves and xrays?
star like a sun big but not really starlike and xray gives off radio waves ......
What speed do radio waves travel in air?
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra violet, XRays, and gamma rays are all part of the "electromagnetic spectrum". They are all electromagnetic radiation and they all travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). The only difference between them is their frequencies (or wavelengths)
Why xrays dangerous and not radio waves?
Although radio waves, visible light and X-rays are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, x-rays travel with a much higher energy at a very short wavelength and create ionizing radiation. When an x-ray passes through organic matter the denser matter will block some of the radiation and that radiation will be deposited in the matter creating some cell damage.
What is the electro-magetic spectrum?
gamma rays, xrays, uv light, visible light, infra red, microwaves, radio waves
What is the ascending order of the eight electromagnetic spectrum waves base from their wavelength?
Shortest wavelength is gamma rays. Next longer wavelength is with Xrays. Then Ultraviolet, visible radiations, infra red, microwaves, radio waves with shorter wavelength and radio waves with longer wavelength
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
What are examples of electromagnetic energy?
Examples of electromagnetic energy are radio waves, Xrays, optical light waves, infrared waves, sunlight and lightening.
What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
Do solar flares prouduce xrays and radio waves and clouds of atomic particles?
Because of the radiasion
Which waves have shorter wavelengths radio waves or xrays?
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio, heat, infra-red, visible light, and ultra-violet.
What is a starlike object that gives off enormous amounts of radio waves and xrays?
star like a sun big but not really starlike and xray gives off radio waves ......
What do xrays contain as an element?
X-rays, just like sunlight or radio waves, doesn't consistent of an element.
What is a range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order?
Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,and gamma rays.
What is electromoagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves refer to a whole family of waves that are emitted by moving charges. These include gamma rays, xrays, ultraviolet light, regular light, infrared light, microwaves and radio waves. They all have the same basic characteristics but have dififferent frequency and wavelength ranges. They are made up of electric and magnetic fields. These fields can exert forces on charges they hit and cause them to move. So radio waves emitted by a radio station transmitter travel thru space and hit the antenna in your radio. This causes the charges in the antenna to move which is then converted back into sound. Light waves that hit your arm cause the charges to move and you feel warm etc.
