What electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?
The highest energy are the gamma rays.
Does gamma have high or low energy?
Gamma have very high energy.
What is the energy of a gamma ray?
A gamma ray will have energy in excess of 100 keV (kiloelectronvolts).
Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.
What do a gamma ray gives off?
Gamma decay occurs when an atomic nucleus changes from a higher energy state to a lower one. When it does the "extra" energy leaves in the form of a gamma ray. That's gamma decay. The gamma ray is electromagnetic energy. That means that there is not a particle of anything involved in this event. Gamma decay is the emergence of that gamma ray from the nucleus of an atom that is going down in its energy state
Why did Rudolf Ludwig Mossbauer win The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1961?
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1961 was divided equally between Robert Hofstadter for his pioneering studies of electron scattering in atomic nuclei and for his thereby achieved discoveries concerning the structure of the nucleons and Rudolf Ludwig Mossbauer for his researches concerning the resonance absorption of gamma radiation and his discovery in this connection of the effect which bears his name.
What electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?
The highest energy are the gamma rays.
Does gamma have high or low energy?
Gamma have very high energy.
Why does gamma radiation damage body cells but radio waves do not?
The energy of a electromagnetic wave increases as the wavelength decreases. Radio waves have a very long wavelength compared to gamma rays. Since gamma rays have so much energy, they can change molecules by "kicking out" electrons with their energy. Where as radio waves don't have enough energy to effect many compounds.

What are Gamma rays a part of?
Gamma rays are high-energy photons.
How many protons does gamma particles have?
None. A gamma ray is energy.
How far will gamma travel?
Gamma Rays will travel as long as they have energy
X-Rays have more energy than gamma rays?
Each gamma-ray photon carries more energy than an X-ray photon. So gamma rays are more penetrating than X-rays, and have a greater photoelectric effect. But you can still pack more energy into an X-ray beam, simply by generating more photons, i.e. operate a 'brighter' source.
What kind of energy is total energy?
Gamma ray.
