the amplitude of the radiation drops as it moves to the surface, hey wait is this == 15.5 unit test?

How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
What has a higher frequency gamma rays or visible ray?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than visible light with ultraviolet and x-rays between them.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
What type of nuclear radiation is most closely related to visible light?
Gamma Rays
How does visible light cause earths surface to become warmer?
Visible light is an insignificant portion of the solar radiation that warms the Earth. The sun's infrared radiation, also known as 'heat', is responsible for virtually all of it.
Is gamma ray a visible light?
No, gamma rays are not visible to the human eye.
What is the difference between visible light and gamma waves?
Gamma rays are of higher energy and much much shorter wavelength than visible light.
Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?
No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-rays.
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?
No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.
What has wavelength that are shorter than visible light?
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
What has a higher frequency gamma rays or visible ray?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than visible light with ultraviolet and x-rays between them.
Which electromagnetic waves have higher frequencies than ultraviolet waves?
Ultra violet light starts just above the visible violet.
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray
Are gamma rays light?
Gamma rays, just like (visible) light rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have a much shorter wavelength (and thus more energy) than visible light, which is why they are much more dangerous to human beings (e.g. they may cause cancer).
Do light waves or gamma rays have shorter wave lengths?
I assume by light rays, you mean visible light rays. In this case, gamma rays have shorter wave lengths.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
