  • Understanding Nuclear Radiation: What is Gamma Radiation?
    The form of nuclear radiation that travels as waves is gamma radiation.

    Here's why:

    * Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, just like light, radio waves, and X-rays. It travels at the speed of light and has the highest energy level of all electromagnetic radiation.

    * Alpha and beta radiation consist of particles, not waves. Alpha radiation is made up of helium nuclei, and beta radiation is made up of electrons or positrons.
