Is cathode rays have maximum ionising power than alpha beta gamma rays?
Cathode (electron) rays have less ionizing potential than gamma, beta, and alpha rays (in increasing ionization potential).
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
What type of radiation causes most ionisation?
The electromagnetic radiation most capable of ionizing is the radiation with the highest energy per quantum. That in turn implies the radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength). The highest-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum is the region we call "gamma rays". We can't generate these, and the gamma rays we observe all originate in radioactive nuclear processes.
What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
Why are gamma rays less ionising?
it does not
What is a ionising and non-ionising radiation?
heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube, and gamma rays from radioactive elements
Is cathode rays have maximum ionising power than alpha beta gamma rays?
Cathode (electron) rays have less ionizing potential than gamma, beta, and alpha rays (in increasing ionization potential).
Is gamma ionising or non ionising?
no
What are the simirality's between gamma rays and X-rays?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation and have very high penetration power. Gamma rays are similar to UV rays and x-rays in the sense that all of them are forms of electromagnetic radiations.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.

Are there problems with gamma rays?
no gamma rays are the best
What is x rays and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
