USES

Range

Gamma Rays

pass through most types of material

Statistics

  • Wavelength is between 10 and 1 pm (picometers)
  • Frequency is between 30 and 300 EHz
  • Most energetic waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Visibility

  • Humans and other organisms can't see it because it is such a high frequency
  • This is because Gamma Rays are 10,000,000,000 more energetic than visible light waves

Discovery
