How do scientists use gamma rays to determine the composition of a planet?
They use spectroscopy.
When did Mae jemison get the gamma sigma gamma award?
1990
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?
Gamma rays
What type of wave does the compton gamma ray detect?
Like the name suggest, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detects gamma rays.
Is gamma ray a visible light?
No, gamma rays are not visible to the human eye.
How do scientists use gamma rays to determine the composition of a planet?
They use spectroscopy.
How does the composition of gamma rays compare to the composition of alpha and beta partilce?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation.Alpha particles are helium nuclei.Beta particles are electrons.
What number planet is keron from Keroro Gunsou?
The Gamma Planetary System the 58th Planet.
Are Gamma rays harmful to earth?
Gamma rays are not necessarily harmful to the planet Earth, but to all the living organisms that inhabit it, as Gamma is a powerful form of radiation.
Can consentration of gamma rays vaporize?
forget what the scientists say gamma rays depending on energy can be extremely hot for example a gamma ray burst at a distance of 300 light years can vaporize a planet and those gamma rays probably have temperatures well up into the the trillions if not quadrillions of degrees. So yes a high concentration of gamma rays will vaporize a human, but not just that they will vaporize whatever is surrounding and in front of it. For instance if gamma rays hit the top of the earth's atmosphere and there energy is transferred to heat those gamma rays will vaporize the ground the water or whatever they happen to hit kind of like billions of megatons of energy
What can scientists do to prepare for a gamma ray burst?
At our current level of technology absolutely nothing.
Why have scientists put ultraviolet infrared infrared gamma's and X ray telescopes in space?
they did it to get more detailed pictures of space
How does the composition of gamma rays compare to the composition of alpha and beta particles?
Gamma rays are the most extremely energetic known electromagnetic radiation/light/photons. An Alpha particle is an energetic Helium nucleus: 2 protons, 2 neutrons, no electrons. Beta particles are high energy electrons or positions.
What actors and actresses appeared in The Composition - 2012?
The cast of The Composition - 2012 includes: Federico Giunti as Zeta Giovanni Olmeo as Gamma Marco Pancrazi as Alpha Craig Peritz as Father Michael Vincent Riotta as Peter Azzurra Rocchi as Beta
What properties of gamma rays determine why it is found within the spectrum?
The only property that a ray or wave needs to have in order to be located within the electromagnetic spectrum is that it must be an electromagnetic wave. Gamma rays meet that requirement nicely.
How do people know that there was a blackhole if they don't see it?
Scientists can detect black holes by using x-rays and gamma rays. Black holes still can release matter, and black holes give off a lot off x and gamma rays.
What other star has planets orbiting around them?
We believe that most stars have planets. The first star PROVABLY detected to have a planet was Gamma Cephei.
