Answer: X-rays have shorter wavelength and high energy, therefore they affect more than radio waves.
Explanation:
Radio waves and X-rays are a type of electromagnetic waves which have both electrical and magnetic components associated with them.
X-rays have shorter wavelength than radio waves.
Relationship between the energy of the waves and the wavelength is given by Planck's equation, which is:
[tex]E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
Where,
E = energy of the wave
h = Planck's constant
c = speed of light
[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength of the wave
From the above relation, energy is inversely related to the wavelength. As, the wavelength decreases, energy of the wave increases and vice-versa.
As, energy of the X-rays is more, they have high penetration power and hence, will harm the body more.
