How does the frequency of a gamma ray change as tis wavelength decreases?

As the wavelength of a gamma ray decreases, its frequency increases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other, meaning that as one increases, the other decreases. So, as the wavelength of a gamma ray decreases, the number of waves passing a point per second (frequency) increases.


How long is the frequency of a gamma ray?

The frequency of a gamma ray is typically in the range of 10 exahertz (10^18 Hz) or higher. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency among the different types of electromagnetic radiation.


What is the electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength called?

The electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength is called a gamma ray. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation.


Which wave in the EM spectrum has the shortest wavelength?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Electromagnetic wave is a kind of energy being propagated even through free space (vacuum). It is classified based on the mode of producing it as Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray. Out of these seven, radio waves have the lowest frequency and Gamma ray has the highest frequency. As frequency and wavelength are inversely related, radio wave would have the longest wavelength.


Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x ray gamma ray?

X-rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.


What kind of wave is a gamma ray?

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.


What is the wavelength of gamma ray?

The wavelength of a gamma-ray is 10-11 metres


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.


What do you know about the gammas wave?

Gamma ray is a form of high energy radiation. Gamma rays have very short wavelength. Gamma rays are high in frequency and have very high penetration power.


What has higher frequency an X-ray or a tv wave?

An X-ray is a high frequency (high energy) electromagnetic wave. It is much higher in frequency than any broadcast wave. The only electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than the X-ray is the gamma ray.


Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?

Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays


What type of ray is gamma ray commonly known as?

well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
