Gamma rays have more energy than visible light rays. Visible light has a longer wavelength. Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, and have the most energy of all electromagnetic radiation.

What has more energy ultraviolet rays or gamma rays?

Gamma rays have more energy than ultraviolet rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet rays, making them more penetrating and powerful.


What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?

Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves. This means that microwaves have longer wavelengths than gamma rays.


Why gamma rays can not be detected in autoradiography?

Gamma rays have a higher energy and penetrate materials more effectively, which makes them difficult to detect in autoradiography where imaging is based on light emission. In autoradiography, detection relies on lower energy emissions such as beta particles or alpha particles, which can interact more readily with the film or detector used for imaging. Gamma rays are typically detected using scintillation counters or gamma ray detectors due to their high penetrating power.


What is hotter than the sun gamma ray or plasma?

Gamma rays are typically hotter than plasma. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation, while plasma is a state of matter where atoms have been stripped of their electrons. Gamma rays can have temperatures reaching billions of degrees, while plasma temperatures are typically in the millions of degrees.


Who invent gamma rays?

No one "invented" gamma radiation. It has been here since the beginning of time. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, while working with Radium, discovered the effects of gamma radiation in 1900, noting that gamma radiation was different than the previously identified alpha and beta radiation.

Do red light penetrate most than gamma why?

Red light does not penetrate more than gamma rays.


Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?

Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...


What is more dangerous gamma or alpha rays?

alpha radiation is more dangerous than beta or gamma if ingested or inhaled because its power to ionize (or to disrupt atoms) is 20x than that of beta and gamma. but if the source is outside the body or at a distance gamma radiation is much dangerous because it could penetrate thick walls.


Are xrays also gamma rays?

X-rays and gamma rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they have different origins and energy levels. X-rays are produced by the deceleration of high-energy electrons, while gamma rays are emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay. Both types of radiation can penetrate materials, but gamma rays have higher energy and can be more penetrating than x-rays.


Which do you think will penetrate farther into a block of lead x-rays or gamma rays explain why?

Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.


What is x-ray and gamma rays?

X-rays and gamma rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelengths. X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging and security screening, while gamma rays are typically associated with nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. Both types of radiation can penetrate materials and tissues, but gamma rays have higher energy levels and are more penetrating than x-rays.


Does gamma rays have a high or low frequency?

Gamma rays have the highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiation. They have wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet rays and X-rays, making them a form of ionizing radiation that can penetrate deeply into materials.


How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?

Gamma rays have higher penetrating ability compared to alpha and beta particles. Gamma rays can penetrate through most materials, while alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper and beta particles by a few millimeters of aluminum.


Do x-rays have more energy than gamma rays?

No, gamma rays have the highest energy of all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.


X-Rays have more energy than gamma rays?

This statement is incorrect. Gamma rays have more energy than X-rays. Gamma rays are produced by nuclear reactions and have higher frequencies and energies than X-rays, which are produced by electron transitions within atoms.


What are electromagnetic waves with frequencies highter than ultraviolet rays but lower than gamma rays?

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than ultraviolet rays but lower than gamma rays are X-rays. X-rays have wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet radiation, allowing them to penetrate solid objects and tissues. They are commonly used in medical imaging and therapy due to their ability to penetrate matter.


Are gamma rays more dangerous than x rays?

Yes, of course.
