They are both electromagnetic waves
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. The fields oscillate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave, so they are transverse waves.
Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum. All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the same speed, known as the speed of light, equal to:
Electromagnetic waves are divided into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength and frequency. From the shortest to the longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency, since frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength), we have:
Gamma rays
X rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared radiation
Microwaves
Radio waves
So as we can see, both gamma rays and microwaves are types of electromagnetic waves. The difference between them is their different wavelength/frequency: in fact, the wavelength of gamma rays is extremently short (), while microwaves have longer wavelengths (at the order of the centimeter).
