How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?

Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.


What type of wave is a gamma ray?

A gamma ray is a type of electromagnetic wave that has the highest frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a form of ionizing radiation.


Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?

No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. Gamma waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with very high frequency and energy. They are often associated with nuclear reactions and subatomic particles.


What are the examples of electromagnetic wave that we can find in electromagnetic spectrum?

-- a radio wave -- a heat wave -- a yellow wave -- a blue wave -- an ultraviolet wave -- an X-ray -- a gamma ray

Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.


What one of these is not particle proton neutron alpha gamma ray or a beta particle?

The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.


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.


Is a radio wave a gamma ray?

No. Though both are electromagnetic waves.


Does a radio wave or gamma ray have higher a amplitude?

A gamma ray has a higher amplitude than a radio wave. Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to radio waves, resulting in higher energy and therefore higher amplitudes.
