NASA | Electromagnetic Spectrum: Gamma Waves
This video from NASA provides an overview of gamma rays and provides examples of conditions and events that produce gamma waves, the highest-energy radiation on the EM spectrum. The video explains that, given their very small wavelengths, gamma waves are hard to detect, so sensors often instead register the derivative effects of sub-atomic interactions with gamma waves.
