A gamma ray has no mass as it is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is similar in properties to light, it is just at a smaller wavelength.

Why do gamma rays have no mass at all?

Gamma rays have no mass because they are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of massless particles called photons. Photons, including gamma rays, do not have rest mass, but they do have energy and momentum.

Do gamma rays have physical mass?

Well, gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, much like light or radio waves. They don't have any physical mass because they are made up of pure energy. Just like how a gentle breeze can't be weighed, gamma rays move through space without any mass at all.


How can gamma decay without having mass?

It can't, as far as I know. "Gamma decay" doesn't refer to the decay of gamma rays; rather, it refers to a decay of ATOMS, or some other particles, which produces gamma rays in the process.

What is the Difference between neutron and gamma rays?

Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation emitted by the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons have mass but no charge, while gamma rays are massless and have no charge. Neutrons are typically involved in nuclear reactions, while gamma rays are involved in the release of excess energy from an unstable nucleus.
