Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.
What do a gamma ray gives off?
Gamma decay occurs when an atomic nucleus changes from a higher energy state to a lower one. When it does the "extra" energy leaves in the form of a gamma ray. That's gamma decay. The gamma ray is electromagnetic energy. That means that there is not a particle of anything involved in this event. Gamma decay is the emergence of that gamma ray from the nucleus of an atom that is going down in its energy state
What electromagnetic has the lowest energy level?
Radio waves have the lowest energy levels. They also have the longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies of EM radiation.
What is gamma particle?
an energy ray with no mass and no charge
What does a gamma ray consist of?
High energy, high frequency photons.
Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?

What kind of energy is total energy?
Gamma ray.
What type of ray is gamma ray commonly known as?
well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
How many protons does gamma particles have?
None. A gamma ray is energy.

What electromagnetic has the greatest energy?
gamma ray
Is a gamma-ray burst more powerful than a pulsar?
A gamma ray burster emits an amount of gamma ray energy in one pulse roughly equal all EM radiation energy of a galaxy in a year. So yes.
What electromagnetic wave has more energy than an x-ray?
A gamma ray has more energy than an X-ray.
What kind of wave is a gamma ray?
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why a photon of red light has less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
I think it is because a photon has less energy that is why it has less ability than a gamma ray photon
How do the mass number and charge of a nucleus change when it emits a gamma ray?
Neither changes. A gamma ray is just energy, and the nucleus simply transitions to a lower energy state.
Why is a gamma-ray photon more energetic than an X-ray photon?
Gamma ray photons have a higher frequency (and therefore carry more energy) than X-ray photons.
