Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. The gamma ray is considered an electromagnetic wave.
What type of wave is a gamma ray?
It is a high energy electromagnetic wave.
Is gamma ray is transverse wave?
Sure, since it is an electromagnetic wave.
Radiation whose wavelengths are among the shortest are?
Gamma rays. If you mean visible light, that would be the blue light.
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge. True or false?
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
What wavelengths can you not see?
Everything outside of about 400-800 nm i.e. Radio mirco wave infrared ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray
Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. The gamma ray is considered an electromagnetic wave.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray
How does a gamma ray relate to an electromagnetic ray?
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic ray, and that is how they are related. Electromagnetic rays come in a range (a spectrum) of frequencies. We could also say that they come in a range of wavelengths or energies, too. Gamma rays are produced by nuclear action (changes in atomic nuclii), and they are the electromagnetic rays at the very high end of the frequency range (and the energy range). They have the shortest wavelength, too. Below gamma rays are the X-rays, then below that ultraviolet rays. Below that are the optical or visible frequencies of light, and then below that are the infrared rays or wavelengths. Below infrared are the microwave frequencies, and below that we find "regular" radio waves.
What is the difference between infrared ray and gamma rays?
The main difference between gamma rays and infrared rays is in their wavelengths. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths while infrared rays have longer wavelengths. Gamma and infrared rays are types of electromagnetic radiation.
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.
How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?
Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.
What type of wave is a gamma ray?
It is a high energy electromagnetic wave.
Is gamma ray is transverse wave?
Sure, since it is an electromagnetic wave.
How long are X-ray wavelengths compared with ultraviolet wavelengths?
Ultraviolet photons have wavelengths below 400nm. X-ray photons have wavelengths between 0.01nm - 10nm. Photons with wavelengths smaller than xrays' are called gamma rays.
What type of wave does the compton gamma ray detect?
Like the name suggest, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detects gamma rays.
