Who have the highest energy gamma rays or neutrons produced from nuclear reactor?
Not sure
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.
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.
Are gamma rays emitted whenever a nuclear bomb goes off?
yes. the fallout also emits gamma rays.
Which of the following is not produced by nuclear decay A Alpha particles B Beta particles C Gamma rays D Delta particles?
There is no such thing as delta particles in nuclear decay.
The most penetrating of the types of nuclear radiation?
Gamma rays. They need layers of concrete and lead. They are also still not completely blocked.
Does a bomb produce gamma rays?
Conventional bombs (dynamite, TNT, etc.) are not powerful enough to produce gamma rays. Gamma rays are only produced in a nuclear bomb or a thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb where nuclear reactions take place.
Where do gomma rays x-rays and ultraviolet rays come from?
They are all different wavelengths of light (photons), the smaller the wavelength the higher the energy. Radio waves, microwaves are also light. ====================================================================== gamma and x-rays come from nuclear radiation (nuclear fission/fusion)... theoretically it is possible threw other means but we are not there yet.
Why are gamma rays not shown in a nuclear reaction?
A nuclear reaction, such as a nuclear bomb or in a nuclear power plant, creates nuclear radiation, which is different then gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is produced primarily by the natural decay of high energy states in atomic nuclei (gamma decay). Or from cosmic sources such as pulsars and radio galaxies. Nuclear radiation is caused by the high energy reaction of atomic particles being broken apart (splitting atoms)
What are the 4 radioactive rays produced?
You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.
Was using the hydrogen bombs on japan necessary?
They never used hydrogen bombs in Japan. They used nuclear bombs which produces gamma rays not the lethal doses of x-rays produced by the hydrogen bomb.
Which layer of the sun are gamma rays photons produced?
The core
