We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).

Alpha 'radiation' is a stream of helium nuclei.
Beta 'radiation' is a stream of electrons.
Gamma radiation is true electromagnetic radiation.

Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
Can ultrasound waves are alpha beta or gamma rays?
No, they are unrelated. Alpha and beta radiation are particle streams, not waves. And gamma rays are electromagnetic waves.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
What are Waves usually given off during nuclear reactions?
Three types of radiation are given off, depending on the exact reaction. The radiations are called alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei; beta radiation consists of electrons or positrons; gamma radiation consists of high-energy photons (electromagnetic radiation).
Is alpha beta and gamma names given to different kinds of radiation?
Yes. Alpha particles are helium nuclei. Beta particles are electrons. Gamma rays consist of high frequency electromagnetic radiation. Modern physics has shown that electromagnetic radiation(EMR), including gamma, do not have a wave nature only, but also a particulate nature. Einstein said that EMR are made of photons.
The emission of electromagnetic energy from an atomic nucleus is called decay?
gamma
Which is not considered a raditional ray gamma beta alpha or infrared?
Alpha and beta are not electromagnetic radiation.
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
Can ultrasound waves are alpha beta or gamma rays?
No, they are unrelated. Alpha and beta radiation are particle streams, not waves. And gamma rays are electromagnetic waves.
Are thegamma and alfa rays electromagnetic radiation?
The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
How different alpha and beta radiation from gamma rays?
I'm not sure there are quantifiers for "difference", but "completely" comes close. Alpha and beta radiation is (massive) particle based, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation ... technically this is a particle (photons), but photons have zero invariant mass. Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus on the run. Beta radiation is an electron on the run. Gamma radiation is a very high energy "light" ray (electromagnetic radiation).
What is alpha beta and gamma in physics?
The first three letters of the greek alphabet. If you mean particles, then ... alpha is a helium nucleolus, beta is an electron, and gamma is electromagnetic radiation.
Is gamma radiation effected by a magnetic field?
Nothing. The gamma ray is not deflected by a magnetic field, which demonstrates that unlike the alpha and beta rays, the gamma is not a stream of charged particles, but is electromagnetic radiation.
List the three main types of nuclear radiation in order of increasing ionizing ability?
Alpha, Beta, Gamma and cosmic are all examples of radiation.Types of radiation could be:Ionizing radiationElectromagnetic radiationInfra red radiation
Emission of gamma rays does not change the atomic number of a nucleus?
no, gamma rays are very high frequency electromagnetic radiation and are not protons or electrons as alpha and beta radiation are respectively.
What type of radiation does radium give off?
Radium emits alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is fully ionized helium nuclei. Beta radiation is high energy electrons. Gamma radiation is very high energy electromagnetic radiation. All of these can do significant damage to living things.
