X-ray telescopes have to be sent into space away from the earths atmosphere and take in X-ray radiation into their multilayer mirrors and the ones sent by balloons are collecting the more penetrating X-rays but if its by shuttle they detect the softer x-rays. the x-rays are converted into a image. whereas the radio telescopes can be used from the ground as radio signals travel to the ground but they have to be huge massive things to collect the signals having a wide range and they collect the data in sound and make them into images by using the light from the universe.
What else can I help you with?
The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is?
The difference between a radio wave and a x-ray is the fact that x-rays have a much higher frequency. Since higher frequency means more energy in electromagnetic waves, x-rays can be used for purposes such as taking photos of things inside the body. Radio waves are at a lower frequency and have a much longer wavelength. They are used in radio, television, and communication.
Is the speed of a radio wave in a vacuum greater than the speed of a gamma ray?
No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.
Which has more energy radio wave or x rays?
A gamma wave has more energy than a radio wave.
What is the difference between the Ray Ban P and the Ray Ban LA?
ray ban p? did u mean philippines, sometimes not real real us real and not real
What type of radiation has the shortest wavelength of radio waves or cosmic rays or ultraviolet light or infrared light?
X-rays have the shortest wavelength of those listed.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
What is the difference in terms of wavelength and frequency between a radio wave and an x-ray?
Radio waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to x-rays, which have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.

What are the examples of electromagnetic wave that we can find in electromagnetic spectrum?
-- a radio wave -- a heat wave -- a yellow wave -- a blue wave -- an ultraviolet wave -- an X-ray -- a gamma ray
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray
What is the difference between a wavefront and a ray?
A wavefront is a surface composed of points that are in phase with each other in terms of the oscillation of a wave. It represents the position of the wave at a specific instant. A ray, on the other hand, is a line that shows the direction of energy propagation of the wave. It represents the path along which the energy moves.
Is a radio wave a gamma ray?
No. Though both are electromagnetic waves.
How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?
Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.
Does a radio wave or gamma ray have higher a amplitude?
A gamma ray has a higher amplitude than a radio wave. Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to radio waves, resulting in higher energy and therefore higher amplitudes.
Is the speed of a radio wave in a vacuum greater than the speed of a gamma ray?
No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.
A wave where matter vibrates at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels?
Without going into a lot of detail trying to describe them, that phenomenon is referred to as an "electromagnetic wave". They are all around us. Depending on wavelength, they have names like 'radio', 'microwaves', 'heat', 'light', 'ultraviolet', 'x-ray', and 'gamma ray'.
What is the angle between a ray of light and its wave front?
A light ray is always at right angles to its wave front.
