Question

Discuss radio waves and gamma rays. Describe two ways that they are different.

Answer 1

They are produced in different processes and are detected in different ways, but they are not fundamentally different. Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation.

Answer 2

Radio waves are long wavelength waves, with short frequencies.

Gamma rays are short wavelength waves with longest frequencies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are radio waves, micro waves, infra red waves, visible rays, ultraviolet rays , x rays and gamma rays. The order written here is decreasing wavelength and increasing frequency, for the respective waves.

Radio waves and Gamma rays both belong to the electromagnetic spectrum of waves.Radio waves are used for long distance radio wave propagation. Gamma rays are used widely in medicine. They are used to treat a lot of diseases. Gamma rays have very high energy. Gamma rays are radioactive in nature.
