Yes. They are both high up in the electromagnetic spectrum, with short wavelengths and high frequency.

Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?

Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma 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.


Do gamma ray have mass?

They are electromagnetic radiation, so no.


Do gamma rays have a higher frequency than x rays?

Generally speaking, it is gamma rays that have a higher frequency (and energy) than X-rays. The upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum enjoy a bit of overlap, but the X-ray does not have a higher frequency than the gamma ray.


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.


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.


Are the velocity of gamma ray and x-ray the same?

No, gamma rays and X-rays travel at different velocities. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation produced by nuclear reactions and have the highest frequency and energy of all forms of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays are also a form of electromagnetic radiation but have lower energy and frequency 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.


Alpha ray gama ray which one is the electro magnetism?

Gamma rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Which ray is the fastest gamma alpha beta?

Gamma rays. Since they are electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light.


What is the difference between infrared ray and gamma rays?

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.


How does a gamma ray relate to an electromagnetic ray?

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.
