define gamma rays
correct answer only! ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A gamma ray is electromagnetic radiation of the shortest wavelength and highest energy. Gamma-ray radiation has wavelengths generally smaller than a few tenths of an angstrom (10−10 meter), and gamma-ray photons have energies greater than tens of thousands of electron volts.

Answer 2

A gamma ray, also known as gamma radiation, is a penetrating kind of electromagnetic radiation produced by atomic nuclei decaying radioactively. It is made up of electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and so has the most photon energy.

The disintegration of an atomic nucleus produces gamma rays, which are ionising electromagnetic radiation. In matter, gamma rays are more penetrating and can cause significant harm to live cells. In medical (radiotherapy), industry (sterilisation and disinfection), and the nuclear industry, gamma rays are used.
