Answer:

The only difference between radio waves, visible light and gamma rays is the energy of the photons.'

Bothrays have photons, but in radio waves they are weaker.

Answer:

Radio waves and gamma rays have a common speed when they propagate in a vacuum. This speed is:


3.10^(8) cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Gamma rays are produced naturally by atomic nuclei during their natural radiative transformations, and their wavelength is less than
10^(-12) m.

Such radiation has the property of ionizing atoms and also has great penetrating power. For its absorption, it is very common to use thick lead walls.

Radio waves are those with the lowest frequency and, consequently, the longest wavelengths, ranging from 10 m to 10 km. They are widely used in radio and TV broadcasts. These waves were generated for the first time by the German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, whose experiment was perfected, eight years later, by the Italian Guglielmo Marconi.

The speed of radio waves and river ranges in a vacuum is the same, this is something they have in common, their approximate value is:
3.10^(8) cm/s
