Duplicate of Do x-rays and gamma rays also contain photons like visible light does? | |

| Jun 30, 2018 at 9:50 | comment | added | John Rennie | @shinzou all EM waves travel in straight lines except when they are diffracted. Diffraction increases with wavelength so radio waves diffract more then X-rays. For more on this see Why does wavelength affect diffraction? | |
| Jun 30, 2018 at 9:48 | comment | added | Nemo | @shinzou, Yes, there is - it is the energy (frequency, wavelength). | |
| Jun 30, 2018 at 9:47 | comment | added | shinzou | Is there a difference between radio photons and x-ray photons then? And how do the photons of radio travel in a non straight line manner? like out of horizon radio or around buildings and walls? Do these photons exhibit special properties that makes them "bouncier"? @JohnRennie | |
| Jun 30, 2018 at 9:44 | comment | added | Nemo | @shinzou, But they are. | |
| Jun 30, 2018 at 9:44 | comment | added | John Rennie | All EM radiation has photons. There is nothing unique about light in this respect. | |
| Jun 30, 2018 at 9:43 | comment | added | shinzou | I didn't say it's made of photons, it's a wave and a particle but other parts of the spectrum aren't, why? @AndreiGeanta | |
| Jun 30, 2018 at 9:39 | comment | added | QuirkyTurtle98 | What makes you think that? | |
| Jun 30, 2018 at 9:39 | comment | added | Nemo | Why do you think that only visible light is made of photons? | |
