The energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency. X rays have a frequency much higher than visible light.

Why are most night bloomin flowers white?
To make themselves more visible to polinating insects and absorbe as much visible light as posible.
What is longer human skin cell or the wavelength of visible light?
Yes, the skin cell is much longer than the wavelength of visible light. The wavelength of visible light is in the range of hundreds of nanometers. Skin cells are much larger.
Dangers of visible light?
Too much exposure to visible light can cause damage to your retina.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum can your eye detect as light?
visible light
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
What is the most powerfull telescope?
The most powerfull type of telescope is the Radio telescope. Radio waves travel much further than light waves.

Yes, the skin cell is much longer than the wavelength of visible light. The wavelength of visible light is in the range of hundreds of nanometers. Skin cells are much larger.
Are gamma rays light?
Gamma rays, just like (visible) light rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have a much shorter wavelength (and thus more energy) than visible light, which is why they are much more dangerous to human beings (e.g. they may cause cancer).
Dangers of visible light?
Too much exposure to visible light can cause damage to your retina.
How much of the visible spectrum is contained in white light?
All of it. White light is the blend of all visible colors.
What is the difference between visible light and gamma waves?
Gamma rays are of higher energy and much much shorter wavelength than visible light.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum can your eye detect as light?
visible light

How much of the electromagnect spectrum is visible light?
its hey
How is visible radiation different from ultraviolet radiation?
UV radiation carries more energy because it vibrates faster, i.e. it has a shorter wavelength. Because it carries more energy, it can do much more damage than visible light.
How much light can the color white absorb?
White does not absorb light - it reflects all visible light waves, while black absorbs all visible light and reflects nothing.
