Gamma rays are particularly energetic photons. On Earth, they are emitted from radioactive substances, during radioactive decay and are also created in x-Ray machines. They can also be produced during very energetic events in space, such as the explosion of a star. Cosmic Rays are gamma rays that continually bombard the Earth.

Which layer of the sun are gamma rays photons produced?
The core
Who have the highest energy gamma rays or neutrons produced from nuclear reactor?
Not sure
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Is the suns rays gamma rays?
No, the Sun mostly emits visible light rays. A small amount of gamma rays might be emitted, but they would be insignificant. Inside the Sun, gamma rays are produced but they never escape in that form. The super-heated gases around the sun in the chromosphere emit mostly higher energy xrays, UV rays but also some gamma rays. Natural gamma rays sources are thought to be the most energetic events in the Universe. Although Supernovae seem to be the source of some, others are still somewhat mysterious.
What are the 4 radioactive rays produced?
You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.
Which layer of the sun are gamma rays photons produced?
The core
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Who have the highest energy gamma rays or neutrons produced from nuclear reactor?
Not sure
Are gamma rays shorter or longer then x-rays?
Gamma rays have shorter wavelength than X-rays. Some times X rays might have shorter wavelength than that of gamma rays. Why so? The main reason is that we assign name to the electromagnetic radiations just based on the method of production. X-rays are produced by stopping the fast moving electrons But gamma rays come out the nuclear reaction.
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Does skin block gamma rays from getting in the body?
No. Gamma rays are similar to X-rays in that they can penetrate deep into the human body. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which is produced by the decay of some radioisotopes and from nuclear reactions. A form of radiation which will be blocked by the skin is alpha particles, which are helium nuclei.
Do any gamma rays at all make it to the surface of Earth?
Almost all gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, or deflected by the magnetosphere, but some do manage to get through. Those that reach the surface of the Earth are mostly secondary comic rays, which are produced when gamma rays or primary cosmic rays hit the top of the atmosphere.
Are there problems with gamma rays?
no gamma rays are the best
Is a gamma ray a transmitter?
yes it can be used as a transmitter as well because few t.v. remotes used to have very light gamma rays to command t.v. sets but gamma rays are dangerous as they can cause cancerANS2:No, there is no such thing as a gamma wave transmitter. That implies that a man-made device is producing the radiation. In the case where electromagnetic waves of the same wavelength as gamma are produced artificially, those waves are called x-rays. Yes, there are x-ray transmitters. Gamma radiation is produced from natural processesX-rays are (usually) artificially produced gamma radiationAs for gamma ray t.v. remotes: the radiation used for the signal is way less energetic than gamma...less energetic than visible light. They all use infra red.
What is x rays and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
