What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy of all types of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced by radioactive decay and nuclear explosions.
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 is the longest to shortest wave length?
The longest wavelength is radio waves, followed by microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelength.
Is gamma ray is transverse wave?
Yes, gamma rays are categorized as electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves. This means that the oscillations of the fields (electric and magnetic) creating gamma rays are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or xrays?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas X-rays have a lower frequency than gamma rays.
What form of radiation is the shortest wave length?
The form that we call "gamma rays".
Which form of radition form the sun has the shortest?
When it comes to radiation from the sun, the type that has the shortest wave length is known gamma rays. A type of wave that is longer than gamma rays is radio rays, which go for a considerable distance.
What happens to the energy of a wave as the wavelength of a wave increases?
energy increases, and the wave length decreasespicture the difference between alpha and gamma rays :)
Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...
Do light waves or gamma rays have shorter wave lengths?
I assume by light rays, you mean visible light rays. In this case, gamma rays have shorter wave lengths.
Can you compare the distance traveled by photon in gamma rays with the distance traveled in radio wave?
A wave length of gamma rays is 10 raised to minus 12. Means 1/1,000,000,000,000 meter. It means, you have 1,000,000,000,000, waves of gamma rays in one meter. Wave length of radio wave is 1000 meters. Speed of both of them same. So roughly, you take the speed of radio wave as straight line, forsimplicity of calculation. And straighten the gamma rays it would be minimum 1,000,000,000,000 times the speed of radio wave. ( Here you have taken length of radio wave 1000 times less, it means only 1 meter to correct the effect of straitening it, to be on safer side.) If you know the amplitude ofelectromagneticwave, you can get the unimaginable figure. In threedimensionalspace, wave may be traveling like spring and not as you draw on paper. Probably magnetic wave travel like coating on insulated wire. Which will be perpendicular to 'electric' wave. In that case, it should bechallenging task formathematiciansto calculate the length of such spiral wave.Probably something iscompressing the gamma rays to very small wave, so that speed of electromagnetic wave be a constant. The photons with maximum energy travel as a gamma rays. Then as gradually energy in photon decreases, it's wave length increases. It is a 'spectrum' and for your convenience that you have given them different names. Like gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra-red, microwaves and radio waves etc. So better you wait for the edit of this answer by expert in this subject.
Which type of EM radiation has the shortest wavelength and the most engery?
The shortest wave is a Gamma wave
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves. This means that microwaves have longer wavelengths than gamma rays.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy?
You have gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra red rays, microwaves and radio waves in increasing order of wave length and and decreasing order of frequencies. Out of which radio waves have lowest energy. Longer the wave length, lower is the energy.
What wave has the greatest energy?
gamma rays.
What wave has the most energy?
Gamma Rays
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy of all types of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced by radioactive decay and nuclear explosions.
