Gamma rays have the same basic nature as?
Gamma rays have the same basic nature as X-rays and are a form of electromagnetic radiation. They are high-energy photons with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.
How does magnetism effect gamma radiation?
No. Gamma rays are photons (light particles). Photons are particles with no mass, no charge and no magnetic moment.
Why do gamma rays travel at the speed of light?
Gamma rays travel at the speed of light because both light and gamma rays are variants of the same thing: electromagnetic radiation.
Why are gamma rays not affected by a magnet as they pass over it?
Gamma rays are not charged particles, so they are not affected by magnetic fields in the same way that charged particles like electrons are. This is because electromagnetic fields mainly interact with charged particles due to their electric charge. Gamma rays are photons, which are electrically neutral, allowing them to pass through magnetic fields without being deflected.
Is it possible for a human being to hold gamma rays?
Gamma rays are high energy massless particles which travel at the speed of light because they are a form of electromagnetic radiation. In order to interact with them, ones relative velocity to the particle would have to be negligible. As science has progressed, though, we have managed to slow light photons down to a virtual creep. The same technology is conceivable for gamma rays.
Why gamma rays travel as fast as the speed of light?
Because gamma rays are exactly the same thing that light is, only with shorter wavelengths.
Are gamma rays the same size as beta rays?
no
Is it possible to make a gamma with just an electron gun and something that will make it short enough to produce gamma rays?
No. Gamma radiation is photons that emanate from the nucleus in response to a reduction in that nucleus' excitation state. The interaction of electrons, on the other hand, produces x-rays. X-rays, while still photons, are generally less in energy than gamma radiation. Though there is some overlap, and while it is true that a photon is a photon, gamma radiation and x-rays are not the same thing.
Are gamma rays positrons?
No, they are not.Gamma rays are photons - just like light. They are electrically neutral. They move at the speed of light. Positrons, also known as anti-electrons, have a positive charge. They move at speeds less than the speed of light.
How are Electromagnetic spectrum rays the same?
They all share the same medium in which to project rays. Photons.
Do gamma rays travel the speed of light?
Yes, gamma rays travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This is because gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, like visible light and radio waves, and all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
Photons with the highest energy have?
Photons with the highest energy have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. These photons are known as gamma rays and are produced by processes such as nuclear reactions and particle interactions. They are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation.
