How big are gamma rays?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging in size from 10 picometers to 100 attometers. They have very high energy and are produced by the decay of atomic nuclei or in nuclear reactions.
High energy waves have what size wavelength?
High energy waves, such as gamma rays or X-rays, have shorter wavelengths. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of the wave.
What size wavelength carries the greatest amount of energy on earth?
Short-wavelength radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, carry the greatest amount of energy on Earth. These wavelengths have higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to longer-wavelength radiation like visible light or radio waves.
Which has shortest wavelength ultraviolet waves or X-rays?
Yes. You can make that statement confidently, without equivocation or qualification, and with no fear of contradiction or debate. And once stated, you can hang your hat on it, and take it to the bank. It is true, and if any evildoer tries to tell you that it isn't, then you are duty-bound to question his motives, at least sureptitiously.
Which of the EM waves has the highest energy?
The ones we call "gamma rays" do. Their frequency is so high that in the time of one cycle, light travels only a distance similar to the size of an atom.

Are gamma rays the same size as beta rays?
no

What else is the size of gamma rays?
it is big
Waves that are about the size of atoms?
gamma rays
What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength shorter that a single water molecule?
Your comparison attempt is confusing. Water molecules don't have 'waves' by themselves. The ocean has waves, H2O does not. We use the behavior of ocean and sound waves to determine the behavior and makeup of light waves. Humans can only see a portion of the existing electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest.
Which of the EM waves has the highest energy?
The ones we call "gamma rays" do. Their frequency is so high that in the time of one cycle, light travels only a distance similar to the size of an atom.
What is eletromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. (frequency = wave oscillations per second) Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories: Radiowave Microwave Infrared Visible (light) Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Rays [This list is in increasing order of frequency)
Why gamma rays have such high penetrating power?
Because it has small size and it will not try to ionise the material
What is electromagnetic's relative wavelength?
The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a wide range of wavelengths, from very long radio waves with wavelengths of kilometers to very short gamma rays with wavelengths less than the size of an atomic nucleus. The specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation depends on the specific type of wave being considered.
