Is an xray a light wave?
Yes an X-Ray is a light wave. It comes before Gamma Rays! The smallest wave visible.
Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. The gamma ray is considered an electromagnetic wave.
Does light travel as a particle or a wave?
it travels in an em ( electromagnetic wave) ranging from gamma rays to radio waves
Which wave can cause damaging chemical changes in cells?
gamma. also x-rays, but gamma is the most well known for it. they can both cause cancer x
Is a Red light a longitudinal wave?
Light is a transverse wave. The color doesn't matter.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
Why do photon of red light has a less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
The energy of a photon is correlated with its wave frequency - and gamma rays are by definition very high frequency photons compared to red light photons.
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray
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.
Is an xray a light wave?
Yes an X-Ray is a light wave. It comes before Gamma Rays! The smallest wave visible.
Do red light penetrate most than gamma why?
Red light does not penetrate more than gamma rays.
Light wave travel faster than gamma wave?
No, they travel at the same speed
Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. The gamma ray is considered an electromagnetic wave.
Which is longer a gamma wave a microwave a visible light or an x ray?
microwave
Does light travel as a particle or a wave?
it travels in an em ( electromagnetic wave) ranging from gamma rays to radio waves
Which wave can cause damaging chemical changes in cells?
gamma. also x-rays, but gamma is the most well known for it. they can both cause cancer x
What is an example for a transverse?
a light wave http://www.answers.com/topic/transverse-wave?cat=technology electro magnetic radiation e.g gamma rays and light
