A gamma ray might have a good chance of going right through the X-ray machine. Remember that the X-ray machine creates X-rays and not gamma rays to perform its function.

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.

Gamma ray


what kind of wave is a gamma wave?

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.


How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?

Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.


Why do we use gamma ray machine?

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.


Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?

The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.

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.


Is an xray a light wave?

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light waves, but they have a much shorter wavelength and higher energy than visible light. This allows them to penetrate through tissues and create detailed images of the inside of the body.


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.
