Is a gamma ray an example of a mechanical wave?
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 type of wave has the shortest wavelength GHz or MHz?
Usually gamma radiation are among the shortest energy wavelength.
Gamma wave is what type of wave?
It is a high energy electromagnetic wave.
is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave/true or false?
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.

Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
What type of wave has the shortest wavelength GHz or MHz?
Usually gamma radiation are among the shortest energy wavelength.
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
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.
How is a radio wave different than a gamma wave?
Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
Gamma wave is what type of wave?
It is a high energy electromagnetic wave.
Is an ocean wave mechanical wave?
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave/true or false?
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?
Gamma rays
