Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
What one of these is not particle proton neutron alpha gamma ray or a beta particle?
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
What is used to detect gamma rays?
By X-ray film or some kind of detector that is the digital equivalent.
What does increasing the frequency of X or Gamma ray do to its wavelength?
Increasing the frequency of any electromagnetic wave ... or of any wave for that matter ... decreases its wavelength.
Is it possible for a Faraday cage to interdict a gamma pulse?
No. At least, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that. The reason it won't work is that, while a gamma ray is still an electromagnetic wave (just like a radio wave is), the wavelength of a gamma ray pulse is extremely short compared to the grid size of a Faraday cage, or even of the individual atoms.
what kind of wave is a gamma wave?
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.
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 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.
What type of wave does the compton gamma ray detect?
Like the name suggest, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detects gamma rays.
What are the examples of electromagnetic wave that we can find in electromagnetic spectrum?
-- a radio wave -- a heat wave -- a yellow wave -- a blue wave -- an ultraviolet wave -- an X-ray -- a gamma ray
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
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.
Which wave in the EM spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Electromagnetic wave is a kind of energy being propagated even through free space (vacuum). It is classified based on the mode of producing it as Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray. Out of these seven, radio waves have the lowest frequency and Gamma ray has the highest frequency. As frequency and wavelength are inversely related, radio wave would have the longest wavelength.
