Why a photon of red light has less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
I think it is because a photon has less energy that is why it has less ability than a gamma ray photon
Why do photon of red light has a less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
The energy of a photon is correlated with its wave frequency - and gamma rays are by definition very high frequency photons compared to red light photons.
Are x-rays energy the same as gamma rays?
Since x-rays have lower frequencies than gamma rays have, each x-ray photon carries less energy than a gamma ray photon carries. Both carry enough energy to damage living cells.
What has more energy a microwave signal or a gamma ray?
The photon (quantum) at gamma frequency has more energy than a photon at microwave frequency has. But you can easily generate a beam of microwaves carrying more energy than, for example, the gamma rays that enter your house from space. Just use a more powerful source of microwaves to generate more photons. No big deal. The one in your kitchen that you use to heat the leftover meatloaf pours out far more energy every second than gamma rays bring into your house, but each microwave photon carries much less energy than a gamma photon does.
What light packs the highest energy per photon?
Cosmic Rays/High Frequency Gamma Rays
What is gamma particle symbolized by?
γ (gamma) is a photon.
Why a photon of red light has less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
I think it is because a photon has less energy that is why it has less ability than a gamma ray photon
What is the mass of gamma in atomic mass units?
If you mean a gamma photon, it is mass-less.
What is an x-ray photon?
A photon is a packet of electromagnetic radiation. An X-ray photon is one of these with a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers.
Why do photon of red light has a less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
The energy of a photon is correlated with its wave frequency - and gamma rays are by definition very high frequency photons compared to red light photons.
What is gamma particle?
an energy ray with no mass and no charge
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
Why are gamma rays the most penetrating of all electromagnetic rays?
Because at their frequencies, each gamma ray photon has more energy than a photon of any other form of electromagnetic radiation.
Why is a gamma-ray photon more energetic than an X-ray photon?
Gamma ray photons have a higher frequency (and therefore carry more energy) than X-ray photons.
Energy released during nuclear fusion?
gamma ray photon
Are x-rays energy the same as gamma rays?
Since x-rays have lower frequencies than gamma rays have, each x-ray photon carries less energy than a gamma ray photon carries. Both carry enough energy to damage living cells.
Amoung Uv ray and gamma ray Which is the stronger ray?
Gamma rays. Each individual photon is more energetic, at any rate.
