Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation just like visible light, X-rays, heat, and radio waves. The wavelength that you experience depends on how fast you and the source are moving together or apart. This is the Doppler-shift. So if you travel just in front of a glowing red-hot rock, keeping the same distance, the radiation will be infra-red. If, however, you are far away, and for some reason the rock and you are getting close together very fast, then the wavelength to you, as that particular observer will squash up dramatically and the radiation will have moved into a more energetic higher-frequency form, perhaps beyond visible light, into ultra violate and further.
Apart from this Doppler shift, quantum effects at the source of the radiation govern its initial frequency where higher energy transitions produce more energetic, and shorter wavelengths. An exploding star is likely to create a lot of high energy, short wavelength gamma radiation, whereas a volcanic eruption would produce long wave heat radiation.
So the answer is : "This cannot be answered." You would have to ask the question compared to an energy and motion bound.
In any case, gamma rays are particularly energetic and are generally considered very short wavelengths compared to the other observable radiation in the universe.
What else can I help you with?
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x ray gamma ray?
X-rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength out of radio waves Infared waves X-rays Ultraviolet light and Gamma Rays?
The shortest on this list is gamma rays.The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:RadioInfra-redUltravioletX-raysGamma rays
Is ultraviolet radiation longest wavelength?
No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum orders radiation from longest to shortest wavelength as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
How is the electromagnetic spectrum divided?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum consists of: (From least intense to most)Radio WavesMicrowavesInfraredVisible LightUltraviolet LightX-RaysGamma Rays
What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
What has shortest wavelength?
X-rays and Gamma rays. Radio Waves have the longest.
Are gamma rays the longest wavelength?
No, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength among all electromagnetic radiations. They have the highest frequency and highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What has the highest energy and longest wavelength?
Generically speaking, radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the highest energy.
What is the longest to shortest wave length?
The longest wavelength is radio waves, followed by microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelength.
What energy travels fastest on the EMS has the longest wavelength?
Radio waves on the EMS have the longest wavelength, while gamma rays travel the fastest.
Which are the longest and shortest wavelengths?
The longest wavelength is radio waves, which can range from several meters to thousands of kilometers. The shortest wavelength is gamma rays, which are typically less than 0.01 nanometers in length.
Which has longest wavelength?
Radio waves have the longest wavelength compared to other types of electromagnetic waves such as microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What is the longest all the electro magnetic waves?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Of these, radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
What are the longest wavelength electromagnetic waves called either radio ultraviolet gamma-rays?
Radio
List the eletromagnetic spectrum in order from longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength?
radiowaves, microwaves, infra-red, visible, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays
What happens to the electromagnetic spectrum as you move from gamma to radio waves?
As you move from gamma rays to radio waves on the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelength gets longer and the frequency decreases. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.
Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?
Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays
