∙ 11y agoGamma rays have no mass because they are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of massless particles called photons. Photons, including gamma rays, do not have rest mass, but they do have energy and momentum.
No. Gamma rays are waves, as part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and have no mass at all. A gamma ray is a form of electromagnetic energy. As such, it is said to have a rest mass of zero. A gamma ray, being electromagnetic energy, has some "particle-like" properties, as does other photonic radiation. But it moves at the speed of light in a vacuum and is generally said to be massless.
Yes, gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with no rest mass. They consist of pure energy and are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation.
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called gamma rays. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest energy levels among all types of electromagnetic radiation.
No, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy of all the electromagnetic rays in the electromagnetic spectrum.
No, gamma rays have more energy than X-rays. Gamma rays have the highest energy and shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, while X-rays have lower energy and longer wavelengths.
Gamma rays hasn't a mass number.
Yes, gamma radiation does not possess mass. It consists of electromagnetic waves with high energy and no rest mass.
They are electromagnetic radiation, so no.

Photons, such as gamma rays and X-rays, have no mass or weight because they are energy particles with no rest mass. They travel at the speed of light and are considered massless.
A gamma ray has no mass as it is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is similar in properties to light, it is just at a smaller wavelength.
Yes, gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with no rest mass. They consist of pure energy and are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation.
it remains the same gamma rays have no mass and no electrical charge
