The body radiates energy through thermal conduction through the skin to the air, clothes, etc, around the body. A small amount of energy would also be radiated as electromagnetic radiation with a peak wavelength directly related to the Kelvin temperature of the skin. Also, very small amounts of other types of radiation are emitted due to naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in the body (i.e. Carbon-14).

What effect does losing a gamma ray have on the nucleus?
Nothing, if the nucleus emits a gamma-ray it means something has happened to it already.
Which of the following can pass through the human body?
gamma ray X-ray
What happens when an atom loses a gamma ray?
doesn't effect mass # or atomic #
Does gamma rays per second effect physical half-life?
Gamma rays or gamma radiation will cause severe internal damage as well and skin burns. Even at half-life the gamma ray can cause damage to who ever come in contact with the ray.
What do we use gamma ray for?
We use Gamma Ray to make Hulk

What is a gamma ray camera?
Gamma camera is used to give an image of the body, based on the gamma rays coming from radionuclide inside the body.
Which of the following can pass through the human body?
gamma ray X-ray
How does HDTV gamma ray output effect human body with metal reconstuction over bones?
Gamma rays come from supernovae in space, not TV's. You are probably confused with display gamma, which is the relationship between input voltage and brightness.

Does gamma rays per second effect physical half-life?
Gamma rays or gamma radiation will cause severe internal damage as well and skin burns. Even at half-life the gamma ray can cause damage to who ever come in contact with the ray.
What is Compton effect?
The increase in wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, especially of an x-ray or a gamma-ray photon, scattered by an electron.
Which ray is the strongest?
Gamma Ray
Why do we use gamma ray machine?
We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.
What do we use gamma ray for?
We use Gamma Ray to make Hulk
Can a gamma ray burst effect the Earth?
It depends on how far the source is. Check out the site I linked below.
