The highest energy photons are described as Gamma. But in terms of the strength, there are more light sources that we encounter everyday of a greater intensity than gamma, as intensity is a measure of the number of photons arriving over an area in a given time. Therefore, visible light and infra-red from the sun are much more intense than the gamma we encounter everyday, as gamma photons are few and far between.
What else can I help you with?
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
What has a higher frequency gamma rays or visible ray?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than visible light. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while visible light falls in the middle range of the spectrum.
How much stronger is led than a regular light bulb?
50 times stronger from, Keshav
Are beta wavelengths stronger than visible light?
Beta wavelengths are not stronger than visible light. In fact, beta waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency and energy than visible light, but they are generally weaker in terms of their ability to penetrate materials and cause biological damage compared to visible light.
What waves of radiation have more energy than waves of radiation that you can see?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays carry more energy than visible light. (That's why ultraviolet light does nasty things to skin cells, and x-rays and gamma rays can penetrate solids.)
Do red light penetrate most than gamma why?
Red light does not penetrate more than gamma rays.
Is red light a gamma wave?
No, red light is not a gamma wave. Red light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a longer wavelength than gamma rays. Gamma waves are a type of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths.
Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?
No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-rays.
Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?
No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.
Do gamma ray bursts emit light faster than the speed of light?
Gamma ray bursts emitting light! What is meant by this? Any way gamma ray coming out of a radioactive nucleus is also an electromagnetic radiation as light but with very much higher frequency. Gamma ray also travels with the same speed as light does. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, no radiation can travel with a velocity higher than that of light
What is the difference between visible light and gamma waves?
Gamma rays are of higher energy and much much shorter wavelength than visible light.
Which has higher energy infrared light or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have higher energy than infrared light. Gamma rays have the highest energy among all types of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, while infrared light has lower energy and longer wavelengths than gamma rays.
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
Are comic rays faster than gamma rays are?
No, gamma rays travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed in the universe. Comic rays, on the other hand, are high-energy particles that can approach the speed of light but are not faster than gamma rays.
What has wavelengths that are shorter than light?
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
How does the energy of a gamma ray compare to the energy of light?
Gamma rays have much higher energy than visible light. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies, making them more energetic than visible light.
What has wavelength that are shorter than visible light?
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
