Both gamma rays and X-rays are forms of electromagnetic energy. Also, they are both forms of ionizing radiation. Further, they are found at the very top end (the highest frequencies) of the electromagnetic specturm.

What rays are similar to X rays?
We might consider gamma rays similar to X-rays. Both are at the top end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with gamma rays generally a bit higher in frequency (though there is a bit of overlap). Some might argue that ultraviolet rays, which are a bit lower in frequency than X-rays, make them similar. But we generally consider X-rays and gamma rays "most" similar as both are forms of ionizing radiation because the energy of the photons is so great.
Gamma radiation is most similar to?
x-rays
With ray is similar with gamma ray?
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.
Radiation that is similar to x-rays and is not composed of particles?
gamma radiation
Which kind of emission is most similar to high energy x-rays?
Gamma radiation consists of high energy waves similar to x-rays.
What is x rays and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
What is x-ray and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
What are gamma rays most similar to?
A gamma ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has a very short wavelength (and a very high frequency and a very high energy). Gamma rays are similar to visible light, radio waves, and all the other forms of electromagnetic radiation. We find gamma rays at the top or high end of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is probable that X-Rays, which are just below gamma rays in the spectrum, are most similar.
What is Gamma rays purpose?
Gamma rays don't have a purpose, they just occur in certain radioactive decays. They can be used to examine welded structures for possible faults, because they are more penetrating even than x-rays.
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
Does gamma radiation have no mass?
No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
What electromagnetic waves have the highest frequencies?
Gamma rays.Gamma rays.Gamma rays.Gamma rays.
