Gamma rays can pretty much travel through anything because of their speed,and intense hotness.There is only 1 thing in the universe that a gamma ray cannot go through, and that is a black hole.Black holes have such an amazing gravitational pull that the black hole would just suck up the light.

What type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?
It is electromagnetic radiation that needs no medium to travel in. Gamma rays, light and radio waves, all forms of electromagnetic radiation, can travel through the vacuum of space very well. In fact, they prefer it.
What type of energy transfer that can occur in empty space is?
Electromagnetic energy can propogate through a vacuum, so energy transfer can occur in the form of light, heat, x rays, gamma rays, gamma rays etc.
What are the Highest frequency rays?
Gamma rays.
When food is irradiated with gamma rays from a cobalt-60 source does the food become radioactive?
No. Gamma rays will not make materials radioactive.
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.
Why do gamma rays travel farthest through matter?
They have less mass than other rays. Gamma rays are basically a wave, like sound.
Can gamma rays travel through empty space?
Yes, gamma waves can Travel through empty space I am just kidding! I really don't know!
What kind of waves travel through matter?
Sound waves and gamma rays.
How far will gamma travel?
Gamma Rays will travel as long as they have energy
Do gamma rays travel the speed of light?
Gamma rays travel exactly the speed of light because gamma rays are light
Why do gamma rays travel at the speed of light?
Gamma rays travel at the speed of light because both light and gamma rays are variants of the same thing: electromagnetic radiation.
Will gamma rays passes through egg?
Yes, gamma rays will pass through an egg.
A wave that does not need a medium but can go through matter?
Gamma rays can both pass through matter and travel in a vacuum.
Can gamma rays travel in a vacuum?
yes they can they travel up to bum
What are waves that can travel through vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the speed of light, c, which is 3.00 x 108 m/s to three significant figures. A few examples include visible light rays, x-rays, and gamma rays.
Why gamma rays travel as fast as the speed of light?
Because gamma rays are exactly the same thing that light is, only with shorter wavelengths.
Wwhat speed do gamma rays travel at?
Like all forms of light (ie, electro-magnetic radiation), gamma rays in a vacuum travel at exactly 299,792,458 meters per second.
