X-rays have a higher frequency; therefore, a shorter wavelength, than radio waves. Xrays have a higher energy than radio waves.
Radio waves travel easily through the atmosphere. X-rays suffer significant attenuation passing through the atmosphere.
Radio waves are non-ionizing, not carrying enough energy per quantum to ionize atoms or molecules-that is, to completely remove an electron from an atom or molecule. The electromagnetic radiation of radio waves has sufficient energy only for excitation, the movement of an electron to a higher energy state.
X-rays are ionizing, producing charged ions when passing through matter. X-rays will deposit images on photographic plates (radio waves will not).

∙ 14y agoInfrared rays have longer wavelength and lower frequency than x-rays. They carry
less energy, and have less penetrating capacity.

∙ 13y agoX-rays have much shorter wavelength than radio waves.
Otherwise, the two are identical in every possible way.

Which waves have shorter wavelenght's radio waves or x-rays?
X rays dont go as far as radio waves
Which will have the longest wavelengths light waves X-rays or radio waves?
Of the items on that list, radio has the longest wavelength and x-rays have the shortest.
Do radio waves x-rays microwaves and the sun's waves have anything in common?
they are all rays
What electromagnetic waves would you expect to produce a photoelectric effect radio waves infrared waves ultraviolet waves X rays or gamma rays?
ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays would all do that
What order do these increase wave length ultraviolet light microwaves radio waves X rays?
X-rays; UV; visible light; microwaves; radio waves.
Why X-rays can damage organism but radio wave can not?
The X-Ray has more energy than the radio waves, E=hf. The f in X rays is billion times higher than radio waves. Thus X-Rays are a billion times more energy.Roughly damage can be caused around f=E15 hertz, UV Rays. Radio waves are around f=E12 and X-Rays around f=E18. Radio waves are 1/1000 of the danger level and X-Rays are 1000 times the danger level.
What has shortest wavelength?
X-rays and Gamma rays. Radio Waves have the longest.
Which of X-rays and radio waves has the higher frequency?
x-ray
What are the main categories of the electromagnetic spectrum?
short radio waves, long radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays.
What waves are transverse that disturb electromagnetic fields?
x-rays
Why do hospitals use x rays instead of radio waves for looking in peoples bodies?
Radio waves (along with magnetism) are used for that purpose instead of x-rays in MRI machines. x-rays are absorbed by the body differently than radio waves, so it depends on what in the body is being looked at.
Does x-rays have the longest radiations wavelengths?
No, radio waves do.
