Gamma radiation has a very short wavelength. This is dangerous to us soft-tissued mammals because our body's natural defenses (like our skin) are unable to keep the radiation out. Gamma radiation has been linked to cancer under the assumption that our cells, once exposed, can be mutated into a cancerous cell.

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 ray have negative charge?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, essentially just a high-frequency form of light invisible to human eyes. Like all light, gamma rays do not carry any electrical charge.
What is x-ray and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
Do gamma rays really work?
YES,gamma rays will kill you.
Do gamma rays have negative charge?
No, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which has no charge.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
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
Can X rays have higher energies than gamma rays?
Gamma rays have energies higher than that of X-rays. It is true that there is some overlap of the upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum, but the X-ray spectrum falls below that of the gamma ray spectrum. For these reasons, if someone asks if X-rays can have higher energies than gamma rays, the answer would be in the negative.
Negative uses about gamma rays?

Are there problems with gamma rays?
no gamma rays are the best
What is x rays and gamma rays?

Does gamma ray have negative charge?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, essentially just a high-frequency form of light invisible to human eyes. Like all light, gamma rays do not carry any electrical charge.
Are gamma rays negative?
No. The gauge particles for electromagnetic radiation, photons, do not carry an electronic charge.
