Conventional bombs (dynamite, TNT, etc.) are not powerful enough to produce gamma rays. Gamma rays are only produced in a nuclear bomb or a thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb where nuclear reactions take place.

What are the Highest frequency rays?
Gamma rays.
When food is irradiated with gamma rays from a cobalt-60 source does the food become radioactive?
No. Gamma rays will not make materials radioactive.
Shorter electromagnetic waves which reach the earth include gamma rays x rays and ultraviolet rays?
true
What type of energy transfer that can occur in empty space is?
Electromagnetic energy can propogate through a vacuum, so energy transfer can occur in the form of light, heat, x rays, gamma rays, gamma rays etc.
What can doctors and industry use to diagnose problems?
gamma rays
Are gamma rays emitted whenever a nuclear bomb goes off?
yes. the fallout also emits gamma rays.
Can a meteorite hit cause gamma rays?
No. A large impact can produce extremely high temperatures, but not enough to produce gamma rays.
How do gamma rays come out of an einsteinium bomb when exploding?
An einsteinium bomb don't exist.
Were there gamma rays in the singularity that gave rise to the big bang?
No; there would be no stars to produce the gamma rays.
Does green light produce microwaves or gamma rays?
no
What electromagnetic waves would you expect to produce a photoelectric effect radio waves infrared waves ultraviolet waves X rays or gamma rays?
ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays would all do that
Do lasers emit gamma rays?
No. Lasers produce coherent light.
Where does the sun get its gamma rays from?
The sun is essentially a massive atomic bomb which is taking billions of years to explode. The gamma rays are emitted through a very complex process that converts hydrogen into helium.
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.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Is it true that the three major kinds of radiation gamma rays can penetrate the farthest into a material?
Gamma rays can travel furthest into a material which is why it is emitted in a nuclear bomb blast. In a supernova gamma rays are burst out in all directions. Gamma rays are so deadly all life on Earth could be annihilated because of a single supernova from as far as 7 light years away!
