No. A gamma ray is a very high frequency electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves propagate as a combination of changing electric field and changing magnetic field. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space without any medium. Mechanical waves (such as sound and water waves) propagate by the oscillating particles of the medium - they require a medium to move through.
What else can I help you with?
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 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.
Do x ray is example of mechanical wave?
No, X-rays are a form of electromagnetic wave, not a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
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.
An example of a wave that can travel through empty space?
radio heat light infrared green ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray gravity waves
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.
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 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 an X-ray wave a mechanical wave?
No, an X-ray is not a mechanical wave. An X-ray is an electromagnetic wave. However, in polar molecules, an X-ray can cause the molecule to vibrate rapidly, just like a microwave oven can.
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.
