Can you compare the distance traveled by photon in gamma rays with the distance traveled in radio wave?
A wave length of gamma rays is 10 raised to minus 12. Means 1/1,000,000,000,000 meter. It means, you have 1,000,000,000,000, waves of gamma rays in one meter. Wave length of radio wave is 1000 meters. Speed of both of them same. So roughly, you take the speed of radio wave as straight line, forsimplicity of calculation. And straighten the gamma rays it would be minimum 1,000,000,000,000 times the speed of radio wave. ( Here you have taken length of radio wave 1000 times less, it means only 1 meter to correct the effect of straitening it, to be on safer side.) If you know the amplitude ofelectromagneticwave, you can get the unimaginable figure. In threedimensionalspace, wave may be traveling like spring and not as you draw on paper. Probably magnetic wave travel like coating on insulated wire. Which will be perpendicular to 'electric' wave. In that case, it should bechallenging task formathematiciansto calculate the length of such spiral wave.Probably something iscompressing the gamma rays to very small wave, so that speed of electromagnetic wave be a constant. The photons with maximum energy travel as a gamma rays. Then as gradually energy in photon decreases, it's wave length increases. It is a 'spectrum' and for your convenience that you have given them different names. Like gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra-red, microwaves and radio waves etc. So better you wait for the edit of this answer by expert in this subject.

How does the speed of light compare with the speed of gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?
Same speed - light and gamma rays are both electromagnetic waves, but with different frequencies.
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.

What is gamma particle symbolized by?
γ (gamma) is a photon.
How does the speed of a photon compare to the speed of an EM wave?
The speed of a photon is the same as the speed of an electromagnetic wave, which is the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. Photons are the fundamental particles that make up electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.
What is the mass of gamma in atomic mass units?
If you mean a gamma photon, it is mass-less.
What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?
Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.
Why is a gamma-ray photon more energetic than an X-ray photon?
Gamma ray photons have a higher frequency (and therefore carry more energy) than X-ray photons.
Why are gamma rays the most penetrating of all electromagnetic rays?
Because at their frequencies, each gamma ray photon has more energy than a photon of any other form of electromagnetic radiation.
What is gamma particle?
A gamma particle is a high-energy photon emitted as a result of radioactive decay. Gamma particles have no mass or charge, allowing them to penetrate deeply into materials and tissues. They are commonly used in various applications such as gamma imaging in medicine and industry.
What light packs the highest energy per photon?
The highest energy per photon is found in gamma rays, which are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Amoung Uv ray and gamma ray Which is the stronger ray?
Gamma rays. Each individual photon is more energetic, at any rate.
What is another name for gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength and therefore high frequency and high energy per photon. Gamma radiation is also known as gamma rays.
What has more energy a microwave signal or a gamma ray?
The photon (quantum) at gamma frequency has more energy than a photon at microwave frequency has. But you can easily generate a beam of microwaves carrying more energy than, for example, the gamma rays that enter your house from space. Just use a more powerful source of microwaves to generate more photons. No big deal. The one in your kitchen that you use to heat the leftover meatloaf pours out far more energy every second than gamma rays bring into your house, but each microwave photon carries much less energy than a gamma photon does.
Do Gamma rays have more energy than light rays?
Theoretically, gamma rays are distinguished by their source, not by the amount of energy each photon carries, so it's not really possible to answer.In practice, most gamma rays have far more energy per photon than visible light.
