What form of nuclear radiation consists of high energy waves similar to x ray?

Just below the X-ray spectrum is the spectrum of ultraviolet light. UV light has just slightly less energy than the "softest" X-rays.
Gamma radiation differs from x-rays only in that it doesn't come from an artificial source.

Is radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Which form of nuclear radiation is a form of energy?
All forms of nuclear radiation, including alpha, gamma, beta, neutron, are forms of energy.
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
What type of energy is uranium used to produce?
Nuclear energy via radiation.
What are the dangers of nuclear power and weapons?
Nuclear power has no dangers. It is the opposite. Nuclear energy is a clean source for power production. It is even cleaner than solar energy. Power generation from nuclear energy is cheaper than that produced from solar, wind, gas, oil, and wind energy sources. Nuclear radiation from nuclear power plants is 100 times less than nuclear radiation from coal fired power plants. Nuclear weapons are of mass destruction nature due to emitted nuclear radiation, heat, and pressure air waves.
Is radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Which kind of emission is most similar to high energy x-rays?
Gamma radiation consists of high energy waves similar to x-rays.
What are Waves usually given off during nuclear reactions?
Three types of radiation are given off, depending on the exact reaction. The radiations are called alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei; beta radiation consists of electrons or positrons; gamma radiation consists of high-energy photons (electromagnetic radiation).
Is nuclear energy obtained from radiation?
Not precisely. The current technology of nuclear energy gets energy from fission. Fission produces radiation, as well as energy.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Which form of nuclear radiation is a form of energy?
All forms of nuclear radiation, including alpha, gamma, beta, neutron, are forms of energy.
Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?
Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.
What is emitted mainly during a nuclear detonation?
Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.
Do planets convert nuclear energy in electromagnetic radiation?
No.
Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
This nuclear energy is pure energy not made of any particle?
Gamma radiation
