How is microwaves different from gamma ray waves?

Answer 1

Both gamma rays and radio waves are forms of electromagnetic energy. They are alike in that respect, but their frequencies and wavelengths are markedly different. They're at opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning that they have different energies. Radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelength and carry the least amount of energy. Gamma-rays have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelength and carry the most energy.

Answer 2

Both a microwave photon and a gamma ray photon are examples of electromagnetic energy. The difference is that a gamma ray photon is of a much higher frequency than a microwave photon. This also means that the gamma ray has a much shorter wavelength, and a much higher energy.

Microwaves are essentially "high energy radio waves" which have a frequency range below that of visible light. As we climb the frequency scale in the electromagnetic spectrum, it goes microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays. You can see from that layout that gamma ray photons are well above microwaves. In fact, gamma rays, which originate in atomic nuclei or in nuclear processes, are at the very top of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Answer 3

Both microwaves and gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The diffrerence is in the range of wavelengths that they fall in. Different ranges of EM radiation are given diffrerent names for there diffrerent uses and properties although they are they same type of energy.

Answer 4

Infrared radiation has long wavelength and gamma rays has shortest wavelength. The energy carried by a Infrared radiation is low, while the energy carried by a gamma ray is high. And also gamma ray has higher frequency and infrared radiation has low frequency. Unlike Infrared radiation, gamma rays cannot be captured and reflected by mirrors.

Answer 5

gamma rays are high frequency and high energy waves. Radi waves are the opposite, low frequency low energy waves.

Answer 6

Gamma rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum , and the shortest wavelength . while radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelength
