A form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy, highest frequency, and shortest wavelength in the spectrum. Electromagnetic Spectrum
A range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, ordered by energy, frequency, and wavelength. Frequency
A measure of how many wave cycles pass a point per second; higher values mean more waves in the same time. Wavelength
The distance between consecutive wave crests; shorter values correspond to higher energy and frequency. Energy
A property directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength in electromagnetic waves. Cosmic Ray
A type of radiation with even higher energy than gamma rays, typically discussed in advanced sciences. Gamma Particle
A representation of gamma radiation, denoted as 0 over 0 with a gamma symbol, indicating no mass or charge. Atomic Mass
A value that remains unchanged during gamma emission, representing the total number of protons and neutrons. Atomic Number
A value that remains unchanged during gamma emission, representing the number of protons in an atom. Alpha Decay
A nuclear process often accompanied by gamma emission, involving the release of a helium nucleus. Beta Decay
A nuclear process often accompanied by gamma emission, involving the transformation of a neutron to a proton or vice versa. Excited State
A condition where an electron has absorbed energy and occupies a higher shell or orbital than its ground state. Penetrating Power
A property describing the ability of radiation to pass through materials; highest for gamma radiation. Ionizing Power
A property describing the ability of radiation to remove electrons from atoms; lowest for gamma radiation. Biological Tissue
Material highly susceptible to damage from gamma radiation due to its extreme penetrating ability.
