I think it is because a photon has less energy that is why it has less ability than a gamma ray photon

Why do photon of red light has a less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
The energy of a photon is correlated with its wave frequency - and gamma rays are by definition very high frequency photons compared to red light photons.
What light packs the highest energy per photon?
Cosmic Rays/High Frequency Gamma Rays
What hppens to the energy of photons when as you move visible light towards x rays and gamma rays?
Energy of photon increases.
What give us light?
Light is given by a subatomic particle called a photon. All types of light are transferred by this from gamma rays to microwaves. Although It is called a particle from the double slit experiment we can see that the photon can act like particle and a wave
Is it true or false that a gamma ray is a very high-speed particle with no charge?
True. A gamma ray is a high-energy photon, and thus moves at the speed of light. And, like all photons, it has no charge.

What is an x-ray photon?
A photon is a packet of electromagnetic radiation. An X-ray photon is one of these with a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers.
Do Gamma rays have more energy than light rays?
Theoretically, gamma rays are distinguished by their source, not by the amount of energy each photon carries, so it's not really possible to answer.In practice, most gamma rays have far more energy per photon than visible light.

What is difference between a proton and a photon?
The photon is the quanta of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, light, x-rays, gamma rays). Quanta are the smallest units of something allowed.

How many electrons does gamma particles have?
A gamma particle is a photon, gamma rays are electromagnetic, like light, radio waves and X-rays. They are of very high frequency, higher and more energetic than typical hospital X-Rays.

True. A gamma ray is a high-energy photon, and thus moves at the speed of light. And, like all photons, it has no charge.
What is the Mass gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation is made up of photons, which are massless.That is to say, the invariant mass, often simply called mass, is zero. However, the photon does have energy, which has an equivalent mass. The exact mass (in the sense of energy equivalence) of a photon will depend on its energy, which can vary.From the Wikipedia: "Gamma rays typically have energies above 100 keV..." That would be about 1.6e-14 joules (lower limit); if you divide that by the square of the speed of light, you get the equivalent in kilograms (per photon).
Which em spectrum has the longest to the shortest energy?
There is no such thing as "long energy" or "short energy". The electromagnetic spectrum is:Radio waves; microwaves; infrared; visible light; ultraviolet; x-rays; gamma rays. In this list, going from left to right: * The energy per photon increases. * The frequency increases. * The wavelength decreases. Thus, for instance, gamma rays have the LARGEST energy per photon; the LARGEST frequency; and the SHORTEST wavelength.
Would microwaves have a high or low penetrating ability relative to other em waves?
microwaves are more penetrative than gamma rays, UV radiation and visible light, but less so than radio waves.
