How would you compare and contrast X-ray bursts and gamma ray bursts?
If we consider the bursts of high energy electromagnetic radiation from stellar or galactic sources, we encounter bursts of X-rays and gamma rays. The two are similar in that both are examples of high energy electromagnetic energy, and both can be generated by certain stars or galaxies. Additionally, both are the result of nuclear reactions in the star or at sites within the galaxy. But with gamma rays, the sources may be fewer than with X-rays, and the gamma rays are higher in energy than the X-rays.
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
Do both x rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet 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...
If the gamma rays and X-rays have the same frequency what will the electron have?
The gamma rays and x-rays will cancel each other out causing those electrons to have little to none frequencies

What is x rays and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.

Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
What electromagnetic waves have the highest frequencies?
Gamma rays.Gamma rays.Gamma rays.Gamma rays.
Do both x rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
What are the similarities and differences between Xrays and gamma rays?
What are the differences between x-rays and gamma rays?
Do gamma rays have a higher or lower energy level than X-rays?
gamma rays have a way stonger/higher energy level then x rays
What kills harmful bacteria in food gamma rays or x-rays?
Gamma ray
What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light?
Waves the have a wavelength slightly shorter than the visible light are as follows: 1. Ultraviolet 2. X-rays 3. Gamma rays
Why x rays and not y rays?
Y-rays do exist. The Y is the Greek symbol for gamma. Gamma rays have more energy than x-rays and are therefore put after them.
