Well, firstly, a singular gamma ray cannot kill anyone because it is not at all ionizing. It would take years of high exposure to cause cancer, which would originate in the thyroid gland (throat
i doubt you mean y the symbol for gamma looks like a y though so you probably mean gamma rays.
a. an alpha particle
No, a gamma ray does not have a plus two charge. A gamma ray is electromagnetic energy, and has no charge at all. It is the alpha particle, a type of particulate radiation, that has a charge of plus two. Use the links below for more information.
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.
If a gamma ray knocks an electron out of an atom, the remaining atom (assuming it was originally neutral) will have one electron less - therefore it will have a positive charge.
Doctors have some machines to make a gamma ray for people who have cancer to kill those bad cells.
Meteorites are not alive therefore they cannot be 'killed'.

Gamma Ray
We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.
Gamma Ray - band - was created in 1988.
It can be used in radiation therapy to treat cancer as the high-energy gamma rays can kill tumour cells. Source: I am a Nuclear Physicist working in MIT
Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.
well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
Gamma Ray
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Gamma rays are the highest forms of electromagnetic radiation. They are a type of ionizing radiation, and they can damage tissue. This can lead to radiation sickness or, in sufficient doses, it can kill. --------------------------------------------------------------- Gamma Rays are able to kill living cells so it's used as medicine to kill cancerous cells. If there's an overdose though, it could kill you. It is a hazardous radiation so if you're not specialized in it, then DO NOT mess with Gamma Rays because again, too much could kill you.
