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.
Lesson Summary. Gamma rays, visible light, and radio waves are all forms of electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic spectrum begins with the lowest frequency radio waves, then moves up in frequency and down in wavelength. After radio waves come microwaves, followed by infrared radiation, and visible light.
