The energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency. X rays have a frequency much higher than visible light.
To make themselves more visible to polinating insects and absorbe as much visible light as posible.
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.
The wavelength of visible light is longer than a human skin cell. Visible light has wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers, while a human skin cell is typically around 30 micrometers in size.
Exposure to high-intensity visible light, such as from the sun or artificial sources, can potentially cause damage to the eyes, leading to conditions like photokeratitis or photoconjunctivitis. Prolonged exposure to blue light, a component of visible light, especially from screens, may also disrupt sleep patterns and cause digital eye strain. Additionally, visible light can contribute to skin aging and pigmentation.
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
The most powerfull type of telescope is the Radio telescope. Radio waves travel much further than light waves.

All of it. White light is the blend of all visible colors.
Gamma rays are of higher energy and much much shorter wavelength than visible light.

its hey
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.
Conventional lasers do not emit gamma radiation. Lasers use electromagnetic waves in the visible spectrum; this is light that you can actually see. Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with much more energy and much higher frequency than visible light.
White does not absorb light - it reflects all visible light waves, while black absorbs all visible light and reflects nothing.
Visible light cannot be used to see molecules because the wavelength of visible light is much larger than the size of molecules. This means that visible light cannot resolve the small details of molecules, making them invisible to the human eye.
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
