X-rays have by far the shorter wavelength. Radio waves can go from several meters in length to miles in length. X-rays, on the other hand, have a wavelength of 0.01 to 10 nanometers. (Nanometers are one-billionth of a meter thick. For a better picture, think of a millimeter - and divide it into one million.)

Which waves have shorter wavelengths radio waves or xrays?

X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio, heat, infra-red, visible light, and ultra-violet.


Is the same for radio waves and gamma rays traveling in space?

No, radio waves and gamma rays have different wavelengths and energies. Radio waves have longer wavelengths and lower energies, while gamma rays have shorter wavelengths and higher energies. This leads to differences in how they interact with the environment as they travel through space.


What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?

Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared rays. Ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye, while infrared rays have longer wavelengths.


Radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet rays have longer wavelenghts then visible light?

Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves. Radio frequency waves are a lower frequency, so they have a longer wave length.


How do radio waves and x rays compare in terms of wavelength and energy?

Radio waves are longer than X-rays and because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, X-Rays have more energy. The formula is 1.25uevm/wavelength, that is the energy is 1.25 micro electron volt divided by the wavelength in meters.


Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?

Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.


What is the relationship between wavelength and the penetrating power of an electromagnetic wave?

Shorter wavelengths have higher energy and greater penetrating power in electromagnetic waves. This is why X-rays, with shorter wavelengths, can penetrate tissues more effectively than radio waves, which have longer wavelengths.


What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength shorter that a single water molecule?

Your comparison attempt is confusing. Water molecules don't have 'waves' by themselves. The ocean has waves, H2O does not. We use the behavior of ocean and sound waves to determine the behavior and makeup of light waves. Humans can only see a portion of the existing electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest.


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.


Which waves have shorter wavelenght's radio waves or x-rays?

X rays dont go as far as radio waves


What waves have shorter wavelength's than microwaves?
