Both are electromagnetic waves (electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic energy).
The main difference between gamma rays and infrared rays is in their wavelengths. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths while infrared rays have longer wavelengths. Gamma and infrared rays are types of electromagnetic radiation.
Gamma ray
gamma ray
they did it to get more detailed pictures of space
Alpha and beta are not electromagnetic radiation.
x-ray
X-rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
they use radio telescopes, infrared, gamma ray, and etc.
Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power. But they have low kinetic power and ionizing power. Gamma rays are similar to x-rays in the sense that both are forms of electromagnetic radiations.
Gamma, X-Ray, Ultraviolet, Visible, Infrared, Microwaves, and then Radio waves. (from smallest to largest)
In order from lowest frequency to highest: radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma.
A gamma ray has no mass as it is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is similar in properties to light, it is just at a smaller wavelength.
