What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?

Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications).
X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers.
Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light.
There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.

∙ 14y agoHere is the list of these types of electromagnetic (EM) radiation from the highest frequency on down: X-rays, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation and radio waves. This list is also one that starts at the highest frequency and goes down. The highest frequency forms of electromagnetic energy have the highest energies. High frequency = high energy.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoRadio Waves, the Higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes. You have listed them correctly in order of increasing wavelength (decreasing frequency).
Wiki User

Which waves have shorter wavelengths radio waves or xrays?
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio, heat, infra-red, visible light, and ultra-violet.
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
What is a starlike object that gives off enormous amounts of radio waves and xrays?
star like a sun big but not really starlike and xray gives off radio waves ......
What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
Why xrays dangerous and not radio waves?
Although radio waves, visible light and X-rays are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, x-rays travel with a much higher energy at a very short wavelength and create ionizing radiation. When an x-ray passes through organic matter the denser matter will block some of the radiation and that radiation will be deposited in the matter creating some cell damage.
What are examples of electromagnetic energy?
Examples of electromagnetic energy are radio waves, Xrays, optical light waves, infrared waves, sunlight and lightening.
Do solar flares prouduce xrays and radio waves and clouds of atomic particles?
Because of the radiasion
Which waves have shorter wavelengths radio waves or xrays?
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio, heat, infra-red, visible light, and ultra-violet.
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
What is a starlike object that gives off enormous amounts of radio waves and xrays?
star like a sun big but not really starlike and xray gives off radio waves ......
What do xrays contain as an element?
X-rays, just like sunlight or radio waves, doesn't consistent of an element.
What is the electro-magetic spectrum?
gamma rays, xrays, uv light, visible light, infra red, microwaves, radio waves
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 fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
What can you not see or smell?
You can not smell Natural Gas, it is invisible, and odorless because it is burned.Several things, including gravity, light, radio waves, xrays.
What are electric magentic waves?
Electromagnetic waves are disturbances in magnetic fields. Regular disturbances take on a waveform that has a certain frequency. The most common form are radio waves, but they also extend from Longwave radiation through light and into xrays.
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.
