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

∙ 14y ago- They are all regions of the Electromagnetic Spectrum
- They travel at the Speed of Light at 2.98 x 108 ms-1
- They are invisible to the human eye
- They all travel as transverse waves
- They all interact with other particles as photons.

∙ 13y agoThe differences are the wavelength, energy and frequency. All electromagnetic radiation is in the form of sine waves, and the wavelength is the distance between any two points where the wave intersects 0 on a graph. All the radiation travels at the speed of light, and the frequency is the number of full cycles per second.
Radio waves have the lowest frequency, followed by visible light (from red to blue), then microwaves, then x-rays. Since lower frequencies have less energy, they usually bounce off, while x-rays go straight on through.

What is elctromagnetic energy?
Energy that is radiated in a wave such as radio waves, white light, uv light and xray.
Are radio waves are the same as sound waves true or false?
False. Radio waves are electromagnetic vibrations, while sound waves are mechanical vibrations.
Is a electromagnetic waves a form of sound?
No. Electromagnetic waves are light waves that include gamma waves, x-rays, UV light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, TV waves, and radio waves--basically any form of radiation.
Can radio waves be deflected?
Of course. That's how they reach the radio in your basement. Radio waves do all the same kinds of twisting, turning, bending, bouncing, and spreading contortions that light waves do.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What objects can give off UV rays or waves besides the usage of the sun?
Spectrum gives UV rays or waves besides the usage of the sun
Does communication satellites transmit UV rays?
No. No point, radio waves have much better range than UV rays.
Does ozone layer reflects Radio waves?
No, it does not. Ozone only reflects UV rays.
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 order do these increase wave length ultraviolet light microwaves radio waves X rays?
X-rays; UV; visible light; microwaves; radio waves.
What are the kind of EM waves?
radio waves, microwaves, infared, visible light, UV light, x rays, gamma rays
What are the seven kinds of EM waves?
radio waves, microwaves, infared, visible light, UV light, x rays, gamma rays
What 2 types of waves do earth telescopes use?
Mainly visual and radio. But there are Xray, UV and IR.
