Delta rays are faster than gamma rays because they are products of energetic collisions between charged particles and atoms, resulting in electrons moving at high velocities. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light and do not have mass, so they move at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is slower than the speed of electrons in matter.
What else can I help you with?
Are comic rays faster than gamma rays are?
No, gamma rays travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed in the universe. Comic rays, on the other hand, are high-energy particles that can approach the speed of light but are not faster than gamma rays.
What type of wave vibrates the faster cosmic rays or gamma rays?
There's a considerable (overlapping) range of frequencies for both gamma rays and cosmic rays, but the upper reach for gamma rays is considered to be higher than that for cosmic rays, all the way to 10^30Hz.
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.
Which travels faster in a vacuum gamma rays or infrared rays?
Neither. In vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation has the same speed, regardless of wavelength. It's the speed we call "the speed of light", but it applies to all of those other electromagnetic phenomena too.
Can diamonds refract gamma rays?
No, diamonds do not refract gamma rays because gamma rays have such high energy that they pass through most materials without being significantly altered or slowed down. Diamonds, like most materials, are not effective at refracting gamma rays.
Are comic rays faster than gamma rays are?

Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...

What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Why are only gamma rays used to sterilise equipment and not alpha?
Because gamma rays have the most electromagnetic energy.
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
Which rays have the highest frequency?
Gamma rays have the highest frequency among the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the shortest wavelengths and carry the most energy.
What wave has the most energy?
Gamma Rays
What is the ray that penetrates the most?
Gamma rays
