How far can gamma radiation travel in air?
Gamma radiation can travel several meters in air, depending on its energy level. Higher energy gamma rays can penetrate further than lower energy ones. Typically, gamma radiation can travel tens of meters in air before being absorbed or scattered.
What type of ray is gamma ray commonly known as?
well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
What form of electromagnetic radiation has the highest energy level?
Gamma rays have the highest energy level among all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Why do some researchers complain when the emission of a gamma particle is called gamma decay?
Because its not a decay process. Gamma is an emission of energy in the form of photons from the nucleus when the nucleus changes from one energy level to a lower energy level. It is true that this is often preceded by a decay event, such as alpha or beta, but it is a distinct, non decay, event.
What types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum have the highest energy level?
Gamma rays have the highest energy level in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, making them the most energetic type of electromagnetic wave.
What do you call an atom if you move an electron in an atom from a low energy level to a higher energy level within the atom?
When you move an electron in an atom from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it is called an electron excitation. This process requires the electron to absorb energy to move to a higher energy state.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it absorbs energy. This energy is typically in the form of electromagnetic radiation or photons.
Do electrons release energy when they move to a higher energy level?
Yes, electrons release energy when they move to a lower energy level. When electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy level, they are in an excited state. When they return to a lower energy level, they release energy in the form of light or heat.
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.
How can an electron in an atom lose energy to transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level?
An electron in an atom can lose energy to transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level by emitting a photon of light. This process is known as emission.
What happens to a wave as it's wavelength gets shorter?
As the wavelength of a wave gets shorter, its frequency increases and its energy level also increases. Shorter wavelengths are associated with higher energy electromagnetic radiation, such as X-rays and gamma rays.
Atoms may emit light energy when?
Atoms may emit light energy when they transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. This release of energy produces light of specific wavelengths, creating an emission spectrum unique to each element.
