      • It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves, typically shorter than those of X-rays. With frequencies above 30 exahertz (3 × 1019 Hz) and wavelengths less than 10 picometers (1 × 10−11 m), gamma ray photons have the highest photon energy of any form of electromagnetic radiation.

    A gamma ray, also known as gamma radiation (symbol γ), is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves, typically shorter than those of X-rays.

  3. May 14, 2024 · Gamma rays (symbol: γ) are a type of electromagnetic radiation with frequencies above 10 19 Hz and wavelengths shorter than 10 picometers (1 x 10 −11 meters). They are located at the extreme end of the electromagnetic spectrum , beyond X-rays.

  4. Aug 10, 2016 · Gamma rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as neutron stars and pulsars, supernova explosions, and regions around black holes.

  5. Aug 29, 2023 · Gamma Rays. The part of the electromagnetic spectrum with the longest wavelength and lowest frequency is radio. The portion with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency is gamma radiation. Visible light, which is the portion of the spectrum that we can see, is roughly in the middle.

  6. Dec 28, 2022 · Gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than 10^-11 meters and frequencies above 30 x 10^18 hertz. The European Space Agency describes how gamma-ray photons have energies in excess of 100,000...
