listen ,

gamma radiation is an electromagnetic radiation... they do not contain any particles...

to see why,

lets see whats definition of an electromagnetic radiation:

Electromagnetic radiation is a phenomenon that takes the form of self-propagating waves in a vacuum or in matter. It consists of electric and magnetic field components

so at the end we can say gamma rays contain electric and magnetic fields..

bcz they hv energy..............they shud b responsible fr photoelectric effect....................

its because:

Like all forms of electromagnetic radiation, gamma rays have no mass or charge and interact less intensively with matter than ionizing particles.

and also gamma radiation loses energy slowly,
