Yes, man-made sources of gamma ray radiation include nuclear power plants, certain medical imaging procedures like gamma cameras and radiation therapy machines, as well as industrial applications such as sterilization techniques and certain types of scientific research equipment.
Both X-rays and gamma rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation, so yes, the radiation is similar. It's the same type of radiation, in fact.In older sources you may see X-rays listed as having longer wavelengths (and lower energy) than gamma rays, but in modern usage the wavelengths of the two overlap to a degree. The general distinction is that electromagnetic radiation emitted by an atomic nucleus is a "gamma ray" and electromagnetic radiation emitted by an electron outside the nucleus is an "X-ray" even if the two have the same wavelength.
Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength and therefore high frequency and high energy per photon. Gamma radiation is also known as gamma rays.
Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.
The three main types of radiation are alpha radiation, beta radiation, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles, beta radiation consists of beta particles, and gamma radiation consists of gamma rays.
X-rays and gamma rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelengths. X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging and security screening, while gamma rays are typically associated with nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. Both types of radiation can penetrate materials and tissues, but gamma rays have higher energy levels and are more penetrating than x-rays.

No, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which has no charge.

Unless the light sources emit harmful forms of radiation such a X-rays or Gamma-rays the answer is no, they do not!
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
Gamma rays have more energy than ultraviolet rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet rays, making them more penetrating and powerful.
By definition, gamma is the highest classification of electromagnetic radiation. The highest energy rays are from cosmic radiation and are called "very high-energy gamma rays."
Gamma radiation is similar to x-rays in terms of their ability to penetrate materials and cause ionization, but unlike x-rays, gamma radiation is not composed of particles. Instead, gamma radiation consists of electromagnetic waves with very high energy.
Gamma rays, x-rays, UV radiation and so on.
Various radioactive substances such as Plutonium and Uranium give off a combination of alpha, beta and gamma rays as the isotope decays.
Actually, gamma is the ONLY type of radiation ray. Since the three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, and the other two are particles, technically, gamma rays are the only radiation rays. If that is not what you are looking for, then I recommend rephrasing your question.
