They are an electro-magnetic wave much like visible light. After a sub atomic particle interaction such as radioactive decay, the nucleus can be left in an excited state. It realeases this energy in the form of a gamma ray.

∙ 13y agoIf you mean gamma rays, which, for example, are produced in some forms of radioactive decay, then they are highly energetic photons; in other words they are a form of light. They are far beyond the visible spectrum however.

∙ 13y agoGamma radiation is an electromagnetic wave, the same as all other kinds of light, except that it has much more energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electrical and magnetic fields which travel through space, much like waves through water.

Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.
What would penetrate a car door made of aluminum?
gamma ray
What are gamma rays made up of?
Electromagnetic energy, photons.
What safety precautions do you think are observed in a gamma-irradiation greenhouse?
One of the safety precautions that are observed in a gamma-irradiation greenhouse is handling the gamma ray substance or element by using remote control. Gamma ray elements are stored in containers made of thick lead. Those who intend to handle the gamma ray elements need to wear special protective clothes.
This nuclear energy is pure energy not made of any particle?
Gamma radiation
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
