Does light possesses photons and waves?
That's pretty much what light is.
Do microwave photons have more energy than photons of visible light?
A microwave signal at 50 GHz has waves that are 10,000 times as long as a visible signal at yellow (600 nm) has. Therefore the yellow photon carries 10,000 times as much energy as the 50 GHz photon does.
What is the difference between light waves and sound waves?
The differences between light and sound are as follows:Light can be considered to be made of waves as well as particles. Sound is only a wave. It does not show particle nature.Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves.Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal.Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum.The speed of light in a medium is constant. The velocity of sound waves can change.In sound waves, the particles of the medium actually oscillate. In a light wave, the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate.Light waves can be polarized, but sound waves cannot.Light waves travel much faster than sound waves. The speed of light is a physical constant. Its value is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum. The speed of sound is 343 meters per second in dry air at 20°C.And finally, a simple one - you can see light while you can hear sound.
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.
Which EM waves has the highest frequency?
There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have. The highest frequency waves are called gamma radiation.There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have.

How are light waves different than radio waves?
Light waves are the wavelengths that register on our visual receptors. Radio waves have a much longer wavelength and not as much energy.
Light waves are the wavelengths that register on your visual receptors Radio waves have a much slower wavelength and not as much energy?
Radio Waves are lower frequency/longer wavelength. Don't know about energy level...
What radio waves are made of?
Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, similar to light, but of much longer wave lengths.
What is the energy of electromagnetic waves such as light?
Energy varies with the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. Ultraviolet much more energetic than red light.
Do electromagnetic waves have too much energy to be refracted?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave.
What is the difference between visible light and gamma waves?
Gamma rays are of higher energy and much much shorter wavelength than visible light.
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
Do light and sound both move in waves?
Light and sound both move in waves. Light is much faster than sound. Light waves are smaller than sound waves.
What is X-ray light?
X-rays are electromagnetic waves - that is, of the same nature as visible light. However, their frequency and therefore their energy are much higher than that of visible light, while their wavelength is much lower.
Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
Why sound waves faster than light waves?
they aren't, they are much much slower.
Are gamma ray used in lasers?
Conventional lasers do not emit gamma radiation. Lasers use electromagnetic waves in the visible spectrum; this is light that you can actually see. Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with much more energy and much higher frequency than visible light.
