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 radio waves and light waves both electromagnetic waves?
Yes. So are heat waves, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. They're all the same thing, only with different wavelengths.
Is communicating with sattilites is an application of gamma rays?
No. Satellite communication is done with radio waves (and sometimes microwaves). Same stuff that communicates with your cell phone.
What is the difference between radio waves and gramma waves?
The wavelength of radio waves are on the magnitude of 10^4 meters, while gamma rays have a far shorter wavelength of around 10^-14. This implies that gamma rays carry a lot more energy than radio waves, due to their frequency being much higher than that of radio wave frequencies.
What does gamma rays and radio waves have in common?
They are all basically the same thing, electromagnetic radiation, but with different frequencies. All these waves are em waves which travel with the speed of light and it is the common b/w all the waves.
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 light waves and radio waves the same type of waves?
Yes. Both are electromagnetic radiation. The only difference is their wavelength.Other members of the same group are heat, UV, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Why gama rays are rays but not waves?
Light "rays" are both waves and particles, that is the nature of light. Thus Gamma Rays is the name for a type of light that is in essence just the same as visible light, radio waves, heat and X rays.
Are radio waves and light waves both electromagnetic waves?
Yes. So are heat waves, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. They're all the same thing, only with different wavelengths.
In a vacuum gamma rays travel at the same speed as radio waves?
Yes, that's correct.
How does the speed of light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?
Same speed - light and gamma rays are both electromagnetic waves, but with different frequencies.
How x rays and g rays are same?
they are not the same but both are waves and both can be harmful to humans if received in high quantities. Though gamma rays are more harmful than x-rays.
What is the strongest form of radiation?
All electromagnetic waves have exactly the same amount of mass -- none.
What color of light has the slowest speed in a vacuum?
Every color of light has the same identical speed in vacuum. Radio, X-rays,microwaves, heat waves, and gamma rays also all have the same speed.All colours travel at the same speed.
Are gamma rays the same size as beta rays?
no
Are heat waves electromagnetic waves?
Heat waves are the same as infra-red radiation; however it is the more specific name. Electromagnetic waves range from Radio Waves to Gamma Rays so, technically, the answer is no.
6 types of electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves don't come in different types. They are all the same physical phenomenon, they all have the same speed in space, and they all exhibit the same electrical and optical behavior. Depending on their wavelength (frequency), we may call them radio, microwave, heat, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, soft x-ray, hard x-ray, or gamma ray but these are all simply different regions in the continuous distribution of the same phenomenon.
