Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and they are the highest frequency form of that type of energy. They can be said to vibrate fastest. But cosmic rays are mostly protons, which are a form of particulate radiation. Comparing gamma rays to cosmic rays as regards frequency is not something we do.
What else can I help you with?
What has wavelengths longer than visble light?
Ultra-violet, short-wave radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays
Is there a light stronger than Gamma?
The highest energy photons are described as Gamma. But in terms of the strength, there are more light sources that we encounter everyday of a greater intensity than gamma, as intensity is a measure of the number of photons arriving over an area in a given time. Therefore, visible light and infra-red from the sun are much more intense than the gamma we encounter everyday, as gamma photons are few and far between.
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
Do x-rays have a higher or lower energy than gamma rays?
Gamma rays have higher energy than X-rays. Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while X-rays have lower energy and fall between ultraviolet and gamma rays on the spectrum.
Do both x rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
What type of wave vibrates the faster cosmic rays or gamma rays?
There's a considerable (overlapping) range of frequencies for both gamma rays and cosmic rays, but the upper reach for gamma rays is considered to be higher than that for cosmic rays, all the way to 10^30Hz.
Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?
Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays
What waves is shorter than x rays and gamma rays?
By definition, gamma is the highest classification of electromagnetic radiation. The highest energy rays are from cosmic radiation and are called "very high-energy gamma rays."
On the EMS which form of radiation has highest amount of energy?
Cosmic Rays which has more energy than Gamma rays
What has wavelengths longer than visble light?
Ultra-violet, short-wave radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays
Which type of electromagnetic waves has the highest frequency?
Gamma Rays are the highest frequency waves. Lower than that are X-rays then Ultraviolet. Then visible light, infrared, microwave, and radio waves are the lowest frequency. Here is a link which gives more information http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/toolbox/emspectrum1.html
What is stronger than gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. In terms of pure energy levels, only certain exotic astrophysical phenomena, like supernovae or black hole mergers, can produce more powerful radiation than gamma rays.
Is there a light stronger than Gamma?
The highest energy photons are described as Gamma. But in terms of the strength, there are more light sources that we encounter everyday of a greater intensity than gamma, as intensity is a measure of the number of photons arriving over an area in a given time. Therefore, visible light and infra-red from the sun are much more intense than the gamma we encounter everyday, as gamma photons are few and far between.
Are cosmic rays more powerful than gamma?
It's hard to say. Can apples be compared to oranges? Cosmic rays are the "rays" that originate in the cosmos and strike earth. These cosmic "rays" are mostly protons with a few alpha particles and some token electrons. That makes the cosmic "rays" a form of particulate radiation. The gamma rays are the highest frequency (and highest energy) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) there is. This radiation is produced by changes in the nuclei of atoms. The gamma rays have very short wavelengths (and short periods), and they penetrate things well. The particles mentioned don't. Alpha particles have trouble moving through air. Electrons and protons can be stopped by a sheet of aluminum foil. Does that mean the gamma rays are more powerful? You make the call.
Does x-rays or gamma rays have lower energy?
X-rays have lower energy than gamma rays. Gamma rays are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, while x-rays have lower energy and shorter wavelengths than gamma rays.
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
What has a lower frequency x rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays.
