The same. Both are electromagnetic waves; in a vacuum, they both travel at the speed of light.

Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
frequency energy wavelength
Which kind of waves are the longest Radar waves Radio waves Visible Light or Gamma Rays?
for wavelength, the longer of the two is visible light, but the longest type of rays are radio waves (some of them have a wavelength as long as a football field)
How does radio frequencies produce radiation levels?
radiation just means energy that travels. radio waves are just a type of radiation, so is visible light. anything that radiates, including heat, is radiation.
What type of radiation was leaked in the chernobyl disaster?
Gamma. And a whole lot of it.
What is radio active material?
Radio active material that occurs naturally where human activities exposure to ionizing radiation are naturally-occurring radioactive materials, or NORM. They include uranium and thorium. Radioactive materials are mainly used in engineering and science departments. This type of material emits gamma rays or particles that as radioactive energy.
What type of radiation travels furthest through matter?
cosmic , x-ray and gamma
What type of radiation travels more than 6cm in air?
Gamma radiation is the only one, except for radio, heat, visible light, and ultraviolet light.
What type of air does sound travel faster in?
Sound travels faster in moist air
What type of jet travels faster than the speed of sound?
supersonic
Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?
All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
Which form of radition form the sun has the shortest?
When it comes to radiation from the sun, the type that has the shortest wave length is known gamma rays. A type of wave that is longer than gamma rays is radio rays, which go for a considerable distance.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has the smallest frequency?
Power frequencies has a low frequencies of 60 to 50 hertz, it is weak radiation from ac circuits.
Which type of wave travels faster through solids then through gasses?
Sound waves (pressure waves).
How radio isotopes can be identified?
Radioisotopes are identified by the halflife, type of radiations emitted, energy of these radiations, spectrometry (mass, gamma, alpha), etc.
Type of radiant energy is invisible to humans?
-- radio -- heat -- infrared -- ultraviolet -- microwave -- X-rays -- gamma rays -- cosmic rays
What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
What type of wave vibrates the faster cosmic rays or gamma rays?
There's a considerable (overlapping) range of frequencies for both gamma rays and cosmic rays, but the upper reach for gamma rays is considered to be higher than that for cosmic rays, all the way to 10^30Hz.
