How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are maeasured in a vacuum?

If both of them are in the same substance, then their speeds are equal.


How the speed of visible light compare with gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?

Both visible light and gamma rays travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This speed is often denoted by the letter 'c' in physics equations and is considered to be the speed of light in a vacuum, which is a universal constant.


How does the speed of visible light compare to the speed of gamma rays?

The speed of visible light is the same as the speed of gamma rays, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum.


How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?

The speed of light in glass is the reciprocal of the refractive index of the glass or 1/(refractive index). Not all glass is the same: its refractive index can range from less than 1.5 for Pyrex (a borosilicate glass) to more than 1.9 for (impure) flint glass. This means the speed of light in glass can range between 0.52 and 0.68 of its speed in vacuum.


What is the value of the speed of gamma radiations in air or vacuum?

The speed of gamma radiation in air or vacuum is approximately the speed of light, which is about 299,792,458 meters per second.


Why do you measure radioactive uranium?

The mass is measured with a balance.The radioactivity is measured with a gamma-radiometer.


Is the speed of a radio wave in a vacuum greater than the speed of a gamma ray?

No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.


Can gamma rays travel in a vacuum?

yes they can they travel up to bum


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.


What is the approximate speed of a gamma particle?

The speed of a gamma particle is approximately the speed of light, which is around 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum.


Is it true that gamma rays travel with constant velocity?

Yes. Gamma Rays are photons (like visible light, just at another part of the electromagnetic spectrum). They travel with constant velocity at the speed of light (only in a vacuum). Although the original speed of the gamma ray varies.


How do infrared waves compare with gamma rays?

Much lower frequency.
