Well, he doesn't know apparently that radio waves and light waves are
the same thing. A billion cycles in a billionth of a second is 10e
+18 hz, and my handy-dandy conersion formula I can see that

lambda = 299,792,458 / 10e+18 = 0.299 nm

Which is SX radiation

You might want to read these too;

Now, green light is 550 nm. Infrared radiation is 1,100 nm.

Basically, you can break down water with powerful x-rays. But where
do you get the x-rays? You don't get it from an AM oscillator. You
get it from an x-ray tube. And those aren't very efficient.

This is UV light which is far less energetic than the numbers you
gave. UV light can arrive from the sun... life of course has adapted
to the sun by using photosynthesis to use the dominant wavelength of
the sun, around 550 nm (leaf green).to convert light to chemical
energy. We tap into that energy today when we burn decayed leaves
that have been trapped underground for millions of years.
