Yes. The wavelength of radiation is w=hc/Energy. Gamma energy is larger than infrared energy, thus has shorter wavelength.

Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?

Which travels faster in a vacuum gamma rays or infrared rays?

Neither. In vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation has the same speed, regardless of wavelength. It's the speed we call "the speed of light", but it applies to all of those other electromagnetic phenomena too.


Which travels faster in a vacuum - gamma rays or infrared rays?

Gamma rays travel faster in a vacuum compared to infrared rays. This is because gamma rays have a higher frequency and shorter wavelength, allowing them to travel at the speed of light. Infrared rays have a lower frequency and longer wavelength, which results in a slower speed when traveling through a vacuum.


What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light?

The electromagnetic wave with a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light is an infrared wave. Infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from approximately 1 millimeter to 750 nanometers. These waves are commonly used in thermal imaging, remote controls, and communication technologies.


What has the highest frequency gamma rays or infrared waves?

Gamma rays have a higher frequency than infrared waves. Gamma rays are on the electromagnetic spectrum with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies.


Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?

This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.


What waves have shorter wavelength's than microwaves?

X-rays and gamma rays have shorter wavelengths than microwaves.


Are gamma rays shorter or longer then x-rays?

Gamma rays have shorter wavelength than X-rays. Some times X rays might have shorter wavelength than that of gamma rays. Why so? The main reason is that we assign name to the electromagnetic radiations just based on the method of production. X-rays are produced by stopping the fast moving electrons But gamma rays come out the nuclear reaction.


Does UV rays have longer wavelength than infrared?

No, UV rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared rays. UV radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy levels compared to infrared radiation.


How does energy relate to?

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength: the shorter the wavelength (X-rays, gamma rays) the greater the energy.


Is it true gamma rays are even shorter than x -rays?

Yes, their wavelength is shorter - hence, their energy is higher.


Do visible light has the shortest wavelength?

No--ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays are progressively shorter.
