A gamma ray is an electromagnetic ray, and that is how they are related. Electromagnetic rays come in a range (a spectrum) of frequencies. We could also say that they come in a range of wavelengths or energies, too. Gamma rays are produced by nuclear action (changes in atomic nuclii), and they are the electromagnetic rays at the very high end of the frequency range (and the energy range). They have the shortest wavelength, too.
Below gamma rays are the X-rays, then below that ultraviolet rays. Below that are the optical or visible frequencies of light, and then below that are the infrared rays or wavelengths. Below infrared are the microwave frequencies, and below that we find "regular" radio waves.
What else can I help you with?
How are an infrared ray and gamma ray similar?
Both are electromagnetic waves (electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic energy).
What type of ray is gamma ray commonly known as?
well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
What electromagnetic has the greatest energy?
gamma ray
What type of wave is a gamma ray?
A gamma ray is a type of electromagnetic wave that has the highest frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a form of ionizing radiation.
What kind of wave is a gamma ray?
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Do gamma ray have mass?
They are electromagnetic radiation, so no.
Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?
Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays
Which ray is not affected by magnetic and electromagnetic field?
Gamma rays are not affected by magnetic and electromagnetic fields because they are neutral in charge and do not have a deflected path in the presence of these fields.
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.
Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.
What is the electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength called?
The electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength is called a gamma ray. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation.
What type of wave does the compton gamma ray detect?
The Compton gamma-ray telescope detects high-energy gamma rays, which are a type of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. These gamma rays are produced by astrophysical processes such as supernovae, pulsars, and black holes.
