lightning contains gamma rays based on the position of gamma rays in the electromagnetic spectrum does lightning have more or less energy than a radio

1 answer

Lightning has significantly more energy than a radio. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from low energy to high energy waves, with radio waves being low energy and gamma rays being high energy. Gamma rays are the highest energy form of electromagnetic radiation, and they are produced during certain lightning events. Therefore, lightning contains gamma rays, indicating that it has much higher energy than a radio wave.
