No, gamma rays are not longitudinal waves. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate perpendicular to each other and the direction of travel. Longitudinal waves are waves where the displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What is another name for a longitudinal a longitudinal wave?
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray
How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?
Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.
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 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
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.
Is a radio wave a gamma ray?
No. Though both are electromagnetic waves.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal.
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.
