A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
An energy ray with no mass and no charge
Gamma ray
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
By X-ray film or some kind of detector that is the digital equivalent.
Increasing the frequency of any electromagnetic wave ... or of any wave for that matter ... decreases its wavelength.
No. At least, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that. The reason it won't work is that, while a gamma ray is still an electromagnetic wave (just like a radio wave is), the wavelength of a gamma ray pulse is extremely short compared to the grid size of a Faraday cage, or even of the individual atoms.

No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. The gamma ray is considered an electromagnetic wave.

Radiowave is nonionizing while gamma ray is ionizing.
It is a high energy electromagnetic wave.
Sure, since it is an electromagnetic wave.
Like the name suggest, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detects gamma rays.
-- a radio wave -- a heat wave -- a yellow wave -- a blue wave -- an ultraviolet wave -- an X-ray -- a gamma ray
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Electromagnetic wave is a kind of energy being propagated even through free space (vacuum). It is classified based on the mode of producing it as Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray. Out of these seven, radio waves have the lowest frequency and Gamma ray has the highest frequency. As frequency and wavelength are inversely related, radio wave would have the longest wavelength.
