What else can I help you with?
How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?
Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
Is the speed of a radio wave in a vacuum greater than the speed of a gamma ray?
No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.
Does a radio wave or gamma ray have higher a amplitude?
A gamma ray has a higher amplitude than a radio wave. Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to radio waves, resulting in higher energy and therefore higher amplitudes.
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray
Is a radio wave a gamma ray?
No. Though both are electromagnetic waves.
Among sound waves light waves X rays Gamma rays and radio waves what is fundamentally different from the others?
Sound wave.
What are the examples of electromagnetic wave that we can find in electromagnetic spectrum?
-- a radio wave -- a heat wave -- a yellow wave -- a blue wave -- an ultraviolet wave -- an X-ray -- a gamma ray
Which wave in the EM spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Electromagnetic wave is a kind of energy being propagated even through free space (vacuum). It is classified based on the mode of producing it as Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray. Out of these seven, radio waves have the lowest frequency and Gamma ray has the highest frequency. As frequency and wavelength are inversely related, radio wave would have the longest wavelength.
A wave that can travel through empty space is?
You could have Gamma, ultra violate, infrared and radio
Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. Gamma waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with very high frequency and energy. They are often associated with nuclear reactions and subatomic particles.
Can you compare the distance traveled by photon in gamma rays with the distance traveled in radio wave?
A wave length of gamma rays is 10 raised to minus 12. Means 1/1,000,000,000,000 meter. It means, you have 1,000,000,000,000, waves of gamma rays in one meter. Wave length of radio wave is 1000 meters. Speed of both of them same. So roughly, you take the speed of radio wave as straight line, forsimplicity of calculation. And straighten the gamma rays it would be minimum 1,000,000,000,000 times the speed of radio wave. ( Here you have taken length of radio wave 1000 times less, it means only 1 meter to correct the effect of straitening it, to be on safer side.) If you know the amplitude ofelectromagneticwave, you can get the unimaginable figure. In threedimensionalspace, wave may be traveling like spring and not as you draw on paper. Probably magnetic wave travel like coating on insulated wire. Which will be perpendicular to 'electric' wave. In that case, it should bechallenging task formathematiciansto calculate the length of such spiral wave.Probably something iscompressing the gamma rays to very small wave, so that speed of electromagnetic wave be a constant. The photons with maximum energy travel as a gamma rays. Then as gradually energy in photon decreases, it's wave length increases. It is a 'spectrum' and for your convenience that you have given them different names. Like gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra-red, microwaves and radio waves etc. So better you wait for the edit of this answer by expert in this subject.
