I had this same question on my homework, but I don't know how they are the SAME. I do know how they are different though. ultraviolet radiation begins at the short wavelegth then overlaps to the long x-ray wavelength and the microwave radiation starts at the longest wavelength then goes to the shortest.

sorry i couldn't really answer your question though

What dangers does exposure to these waves pose?

Exposure to waves such as ultraviolet (UV), radio, and microwave radiation can pose risks such as skin damage, DNA changes, and potential increased cancer risk with prolonged exposure. It is important to limit exposure to these waves through protective measures, such as sunscreen for UV waves and proper shielding for radio and microwave radiation.


Does UV waves cause heat?

UV waves do not typically cause heat directly. These waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can cause skin damage and sunburn, but they do not create heat in the same way as infrared radiation. UV waves can be absorbed by materials and convert into heat, but this is not their primary mechanism of action.


Which travels faster radio waves or microwaves?

-- Microwave ARE radio waves.-- All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, including radio, microwaves,heat, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and allthe others.


Does infrared move at the same speed as radio waves?

Infrared waves and radio waves both travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This means that they move at the same speed.


Are radio waves are the same as sound waves true or false?

False. Radio waves and sound waves are different types of waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that transmit signals through the air, while sound waves are mechanical waves that transmit vibrations through a medium such as air, water, or solid objects.

Why does UV radiation and radio waves have such different affects?

uv rays can give u sunburns but radio waves cant


Communications satellites transmit UV waves?

No- UV is ultraviolet light. They transmit radio waves.


Is it true that communications statellities transmit UV waves?

No, communications satellites typically transmit and receive radio waves, not ultraviolet (UV) waves. UV waves have shorter wavelengths and higher energy than radio waves, which are used for long-distance communication. UV waves are typically used in applications like sterilization and medical treatments.


Are light waves and radio waves the same type of waves?

Yes. Both are electromagnetic radiation. The only difference is their wavelength.Other members of the same group are heat, UV, X-rays, and gamma rays.


Does communication satellites transmit UV rays?

No. No point, radio waves have much better range than UV rays.


What is the longest wavelengh in the electromagnetic spectrum?

The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength are called "radio waves". There is no limit to how long the wavelengths can be.


Does ozone layer reflects Radio waves?

No, it does not. Ozone only reflects UV rays.


What order do these increase wave length ultraviolet light microwaves radio waves X rays?

X-rays; UV; visible light; microwaves; radio waves.


Do radio waves need medium to travel?

light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.


What are the kind of EM waves?

radio waves, microwaves, infared, visible light, UV light, x rays, gamma rays
