SUMMARY
All electromagnetic waves, including light, radio waves, and X-rays, are affected by gravity due to their inherent momentum and energy. The discussion clarifies that there is no distinction between different types of electromagnetic radiation in terms of their interaction with gravitational fields. The term "magnetic waves" is incorrect; the correct terminology is "electromagnetic waves," which encompasses all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
