What happens to the energy of a wave as the wavelength of a wave increases?

energy increases, and the wave length decreasespicture the difference between alpha and gamma rays :)


What are the particles called from a nuclear decay?

These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?

Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays


How many altraviolet rays are there?

There are three types of ultraviolet (UV) rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA rays have the longest wavelength, UVB rays have a medium wavelength, and UVC rays have the shortest wavelength. UVC rays are mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and do not reach the surface.


Which is not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum - UV rays or Alpha rays or Visible light or Infrared rays?

Alpha rays are not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha rays are actually streams of alpha particles, which are clusters of two protons and two neutrons emitted by certain types of radioactive materials.


Does alpha rays contains only a positive charge of atom?

Alpha rays are helium ions, He2+.


How does energy relate to?

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength: the shorter the wavelength (X-rays, gamma rays) the greater the energy.


What has the shortes wavelength?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.


Are thegamma and alfa rays electromagnetic radiation?

The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.


Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays?

This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.


What are the 4 radioactive rays produced?

You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.


Is ultraviolet the shortest wavelength?

No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.
