A gamma ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has a very short wavelength (and a very high frequency and a very high energy). Gamma rays are similar to visible light, radio waves, and all the other forms of electromagnetic radiation. We find gamma rays at the top or high end of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is probable that X-Rays, which are just below gamma rays in the spectrum, are most similar.

Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...
Radiation that is similar to x-rays and is not composed of particles?
gamma radiation
The most penetrating of the types of nuclear radiation?
Gamma rays. They need layers of concrete and lead. They are also still not completely blocked.
Which type of EM radiation has the shortest wavelength and the most engery?
The shortest wave is a Gamma wave
Which are the two most penetrating rays in the electromagnet spectrum?
X-rays and Gamma rays are the two most penetrating rays in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Gamma radiation is most similar to?
x-rays
What rays are similar to X rays?
We might consider gamma rays similar to X-rays. Both are at the top end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with gamma rays generally a bit higher in frequency (though there is a bit of overlap). Some might argue that ultraviolet rays, which are a bit lower in frequency than X-rays, make them similar. But we generally consider X-rays and gamma rays "most" similar as both are forms of ionizing radiation because the energy of the photons is so great.
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.
Which kind of emission is most similar to high energy x-rays?
Gamma radiation consists of high energy waves similar to x-rays.
Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or xrays?
gamma has the highest frequency because on a wave chart the gamma rays have the most energy and frequency
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Radiation that is similar to x-rays and is not composed of particles?
gamma radiation
Why are only gamma rays used to sterilise equipment and not alpha?
Because gamma rays have the most electromagnetic energy.
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Does gamma radiation have no mass?
No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
