- Cathode rays are not electromagnetic rays because the cathode ray is a beam of electrons that travel from the negatively charged to positively charged end of a vacuum tube, across a voltage difference between the electrodes placed at each end.
- The electrode at the negative end is called a cathode; the electrode at the positive end is called an anode.
- Since electrons are repelled by the negative charge, the cathode is seen as the "source" of the cathode ray in the vacuum chamber.

at the back end of the picture tube shooting electrons at the screen.

What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
What electromagnetic waves would you expect to produce a photoelectric effect radio waves infrared waves ultraviolet waves X rays or gamma rays?
ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays would all do that
Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?
X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.
What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
Are X-rays longitudinal or transverse?
X- rays are transverse waves!x rays are electromagnetic waves and transverse .
Are suns rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
Are the sun's rays mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves
What would happen to cathode rays in a vacuum?
Cathode rays in a vacuum would travel until stopped (or deflected by an electromagnetic field).
Is optical rays are electromagnetic wave?
yes Optical Rays are Electromagnetic Waves.... (-:
What are the similarities between gamma rays and radio waves?
Both are electromagnetic waves.
What kind of waves do x-rays come from?
X-rays are electromagnetic waves.
Is gamma rays are transverse rays?
Yes. All electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
What waves transverse waves that disturb electromagnetic waves?
x-rays
X-ray longitudinal or transverse?
X-rays are a type of electromagnetic waves; electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
What are 2 examples of electromagnetic waves?
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
Which waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are considered high energy waves?
x-rays and gamma rays
