The wavelength of Xrays is EXTREMELY short compared to microwaves. Wavelengths of xrays are from 10 to .01 nanometres. (10 nanometres is .00000001 metres). Wavelengths of microwaves are usually between 100 and 10 millimetres although they are not clearly defined. This means the wavelength of microwaves is 10 billion times longer than xrays.

∙ 11y agoIt's very easy to construct a microwave source that radiates more energy than the
X-ray source constructed by the guy on the next block. But in order to do it, your
source must pour out way more photons than his does, because each X-ray photon
carries a lot more energy than a microwave photon does.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoThe answer is yes. X-rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and they contain more energy.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoYes. Higher frequencies, too. The energy (per photon), in an electromagnetic wave, is directly proportional to the frequency.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoNo, x-rays have shorter wavelengths.

Radio waves have longer wavelengths than xrays?
Yes, radio waves have TREMENDOUSLY longer wavelengths than X-rays. This comparison is like comparing a grain of sand to the planet Earth. There is a very big difference in size.
Do solar flares prouduce xrays and radio waves and clouds of atomic particles?
Because of the radiasion
Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?
They can detect radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays.
Can X-rays be produced by a compound?
X Rays are hi energy waves and are one of the highest! When compounds want to release energy, the rate at which it wants to and the amount it wants to get rid of vary its wavelength. If its not bothered by releasing too much energy and has all the time in the world it would release low energy waves like infrared. But if the compound is in a rush and wants to get rid of a huge amount of energy quickly it then produces higher energy waves like microwaves or Xrays. I think lead can produce xrays, but i cant remember how its done. i think you fire a neutron at it and it produces an xray. not entirely sure, you'll have to check.
Is the visible light spectrum between radar waves and xrays?
Yes, radar waves are radio waves and too long for the eye to see (off the red end of the visible spectrum) and X rays are too short to see (off the blue/violet end of the visible spectrum).
What are examples of electromagnetic energy?
Examples of electromagnetic energy are radio waves, Xrays, optical light waves, infrared waves, sunlight and lightening.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?
Xrays, gamma rays, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radiowaves and infrared rays.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
What is the ascending order of the eight electromagnetic spectrum waves base from their wavelength?
Shortest wavelength is gamma rays. Next longer wavelength is with Xrays. Then Ultraviolet, visible radiations, infra red, microwaves, radio waves with shorter wavelength and radio waves with longer wavelength
What are xrays waves used for?
chelsea say head
Radio waves have longer wavelengths than xrays?
Yes, radio waves have TREMENDOUSLY longer wavelengths than X-rays. This comparison is like comparing a grain of sand to the planet Earth. There is a very big difference in size.
What wave has xrays?
Electromagnetic waves have x-rays as a subset of their range.
Are Xrays transverse or longitudinal waves?
X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves
How can yellow light ultraviolet waves and xrays be described?
they are electromagnetic. So they have an electromagnetic spectrum.
Do solar flares prouduce xrays and radio waves and clouds of atomic particles?
Because of the radiasion
Which types of electromagnetic radiation can be detected using telescopes on Earth?
They can detect radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays.
What is a range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order?
Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,and gamma rays.
