The smaller the wavelength (high frequency), the higher the energy. So gamma has the highest energy, followed by x-rays, UV, visible, infrared, microwaves, radio, in descending order. This is also why green laser-pointers are more expensive than red ones ;)

How the period and frequency of electromagnetic waves change between gamma rays and microwaves?

Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to microwaves. This means that gamma rays have a higher frequency and shorter period than microwaves. As you move from gamma rays to microwaves, the period of the electromagnetic waves increases while the frequency decreases.


Do gamma rays have more energy than microwaves?

Yes, gamma rays have much more energy than microwaves. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, while microwaves have much lower energy and longer wavelengths.


Does microwaves having higher ionisation character?

Microwaves do not have a high ionization character because they have lower energy compared to ionizing radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays. Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation and typically do not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules.


How does a gamma wave differ from a microwave?

Gamma waves are electromagnetic waves with a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than microwaves. They are commonly used in medical imaging and cancer treatment. Microwaves, on the other hand, have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies, and are typically used in household appliances like microwave ovens and satellite communication.

What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?

Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves. This means that microwaves have longer wavelengths than gamma rays.


Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?

Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.


Do gamma rays have a higher or lower frequency than microwaves?

Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than microwaves, even though microwaves have a longer wavelength than gamma rays.All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light or 186,000 miles per second. So the increase in wavelength(microwaves) means they do not oscillate as fast(lower frequency) in order to reach 186,000 miles per second.


How is microwaves different from gamma ray waves?

Both gamma rays and radio waves are forms of electromagnetic energy. They are alike in that respect, but their frequencies and wavelengths are markedly different. They're at opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning that they have different energies. Radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelength and carry the least amount of energy. Gamma-rays have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelength and carry the most energy.


Do ultra violet waves have a higher or lower frequency than gamma rays?
