Are gamma rays transverse?

Yes, gamma rays are transverse electromagnetic waves, meaning the oscillations of the waves are perpendicular to the direction of their propagation. This is similar to other forms of electromagnetic radiation like visible light and radio waves.

Is gamma ray is transverse wave?

Yes, gamma rays are categorized as electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves. This means that the oscillations of the fields (electric and magnetic) creating gamma rays are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
