      • Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays.

  1. Aug 6, 2023 · In a record-breaking discovery, scientists detected our very own sun emitting an extraordinary amount of gamma rays — wavelengths of light known to carry the most energy of any other...

  2. May 24, 2021 · Hundreds of gamma ray signals were detected with ultra-high energies, with the most powerful signals crossing the Peta-electronvolt (PeV) threshold – much higher than thought possible in...

  3. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and highest energies among the electromagnetic spectrum. Their wavelengths range from about 10 picometers (pm) to less than 1 femtometer (fm). In contrast, X-rays have longer wavelengths, typically ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers (nm).

  4. Nov 20, 2019 · NASAs Hubble Space Telescope has given astronomers a peek at the location of the most energetic outburst ever seen in the universe — a blast of gamma-rays a trillion times more powerful than visible light.

  5. Mar 30, 2024 · The attenuation of X-rays and gamma rays in matter depends on the energy of the radiation and the density and atomic number of the material. Higher-energy photons are more penetrating, while denser, higher-Z materials are more effective at stopping these types of radiation.

  6. Jan 14, 2020 · Nine sources of extremely high-energy gamma rays comprise a new catalog compiled by researchers with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory. All produce gamma rays with energies over 56 trillion electron volts (TeV) and three emit gamma rays extending to 100 TeV and beyond, making these the highest-energy sources ever observed in our galaxy. The catalog helps to explain ...
