The waves are 2 orders of magnitude smaller than even x rays. Keep in mind that we humans can only see a tiny fraction of the light n the universe. Other electromagnetic waves are just as much light as the reds and blues we can see, but our eyes did not evolve to see them. Exc. question and I should have written about that.
