Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays. The other two types of natural radioactivity are alpha and beta radiation, which are in the form of particles. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, with a very short wavelength of less than one-tenth of a nanometer. Gamma radiation is the product of radioactive atoms.
Since gamma rays are at the top of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of energy, all extremely high energy photons are gamma rays; for example, a photon having the Planck energy would be a gamma ray. Gamma rays from sources other than radioactive decay
