Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted by radioactive decay and other nuclear reactions. They have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing them to penetrate materials more effectively than alpha and beta particles. Due to their high energy, gamma rays can pose health risks to living organisms, necessitating protective measures in environments where they are present. They are also used in various applications, including medical imaging and cancer treatment.
