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.
What else can I help you with?
Which is the only kind of nuclear radiation that is also an electromagnetic wave?
The gamma wave is.
Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. Gamma waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with very high frequency and energy. They are often associated with nuclear reactions and subatomic particles.
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.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?
Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.
What kind of wave has the highest frequency?
the wave which has the highest frequency and energy is the wave of light which was further explained by sir Issac newton.
Which type of EM radiation has the shortest wavelength and the most engery?
The shortest wave is a Gamma wave
What type of wave has the shortest wavelength GHz or MHz?
A wave with a frequency in the GHz range has a shorter wavelength compared to a wave in the MHz range. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional: as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
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.
Is gamma ray is transverse wave?
Yes, gamma rays are categorized as electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves. This means that the oscillations of the fields (electric and magnetic) creating gamma rays are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
What type of wave is a gamma ray?
A gamma ray is a type of electromagnetic wave that has the highest frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a form of ionizing radiation.
Is the speed of a radio wave in a vacuum greater than the speed of a gamma ray?
No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.
