Question

Photons are generated by a microwave oven in a kitchen and by an x ray machine at a dentist’s office. which type of photon has the greater frequency, the greater energy, and the greater wavelength?

Answer 1

The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. X-Ray photons will have greater frequency than microwaves but microwaves will have greater wavelength.

There are seven regions in the electromagnetic spectrum which in order of lowest to highest frequency are: Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, therefore radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the shortest. that is why X-Ray machine photons have greater frequency and shorter wavelength while microwave photons have lower frequency but higher wavelength.
