The higher the frequency the more energetic the photons.

∙ 14y agobecause the wavelengths are slower and gamma rays are very fast but both cant be seen to the human eye or any eye for that matter

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.
Why X-rays can damage organism but radio wave can not?
The X-Ray has more energy than the radio waves, E=hf. The f in X rays is billion times higher than radio waves. Thus X-Rays are a billion times more energy.Roughly damage can be caused around f=E15 hertz, UV Rays. Radio waves are around f=E12 and X-Rays around f=E18. Radio waves are 1/1000 of the danger level and X-Rays are 1000 times the danger level.
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.
What type of energy is radio waves?
A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave. It's a form of electromagnetic radiation.The term "radio" is the name given to a part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves that is used for radio and television broadcasting, mobile phones, terrestrial and satellite wireless communications networks, etc.The whole wide spectrum of electromagnetic waves has frequencies (and wavelengths) ranging from "audio" to "radio" to "infrared" to "visual light" to "X-Rays", and beyond to "gamma rays" at the very top end of the spectrum.
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 type of electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy?
You have gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra red rays, microwaves and radio waves in increasing order of wave length and and decreasing order of frequencies. Out of which radio waves have lowest energy. Longer the wave length, lower is the energy.
Which electromagnetic wave transfers the most energy?
greatest amount of energy by gama rays least by radio waves
What radio wave with the greatest energy?
Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic waves with the greatest energy are gamma rays.
What type of invisible radiation from space can be detected from earth?
Long wave radio, short wave radio, microwave radio, heat, far infrared, near infrared, ultraviolet UV-A, ultraviolet UV-B, high energy X-rays, high energy gamma rays.
What types of radiation has the lowest energy?
You have gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra red rays, microwaves and radio waves in increasing order of wave length and and decreasing order of frequencies. Out of which radio waves have lowest energy. Longer the wave length, lower is the energy.

Radio waves are at a lower frequency and have a much longer wavelength. They are used in radio, television, and communication.
What type of energy is wave?
Radio waves carry electromagnetic energy, just like light, X-rays, and microwaves.
What does a wave do?
It moves energy through space.
What energy conversions occur in a radio?
In a radio you have the conversion of radio wave energy to sound wave energy.
Why do X-ray technicians use lead aprons and other forms of protection when they are exposed to X-rays while we are exposed to many radio waves all the time and are not protected?
Radio waves and X-rays are not the same thing. The standards for safe exposure to radio wave energy and the standards for safe exposure to X-rays are quite different. It takes a very large amount of radio wave energy to cause harm.
Why X-rays can damage organism but radio wave can not?
The X-Ray has more energy than the radio waves, E=hf. The f in X rays is billion times higher than radio waves. Thus X-Rays are a billion times more energy.Roughly damage can be caused around f=E15 hertz, UV Rays. Radio waves are around f=E12 and X-Rays around f=E18.

What are the 7 types of EM waves on the spetrum?
-- long-wave radio-- short-wave radio-- microwave radio-- infra-red-- visible light-- ultra-violet-- X-rays-- cosmic rays
