-- Gamma rays are harmful to living organisms because each gamma-ray photon

carries relatively high energy, and is capable of damaging cells.

-- You should be suspicious of whoever told you that microwave radiation is not

harmful to humans. Have you ever seen what 1,200 watts of RF at 2.5 GHz can do

to a hot dog in the 'microwave' oven ?

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.


Are microwaves longer than gamma rays?

No, gamma rays have shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, while microwaves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.


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.
