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

X-rays have higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light rays, allowing them to penetrate deeper into materials and tissues. This property makes X-rays useful for imaging bones and other dense structures in the body. Additionally, the production of X-rays involves high-voltage electricity and specialized equipment, contributing to their higher power compared to visible light rays.

Why are most night bloomin flowers white?
To make themselves more visible to polinating insects and absorbe as much visible light as posible.
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 longer human skin cell or the wavelength of 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.
Dangers of visible light?
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.
Why astronomers study radiation beyond the violet end of visible light and beyond the red end of visible light?
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
What is the most powerfull telescope?
The most powerfull type of telescope is the Radio telescope. Radio waves travel much further than light waves.
Why are most night bloomin flowers white?
To make themselves more visible to polinating insects and absorbe as much visible light as posible.
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 does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of 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.
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.
Are gamma ray used in lasers?
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.
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.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
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.
How does infrared light reflect off objects?
Infrared light reflects off objects by bouncing off the surface of the object. The amount of infrared light that reflects back depends on the surface material and its properties. Smooth, shiny surfaces tend to reflect more infrared light, while rough or dark surfaces absorb more of the light.
