What is the energy of a gamma ray?
A gamma ray will have energy in excess of 100 keV (kiloelectronvolts).
What are the 7 forms of em energy?
The 7 forms of electromagnetic energy are: Gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet ray, visible light, infrared, microwave, and radio wave.
Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.
What do a gamma ray gives off?
Gamma decay occurs when an atomic nucleus changes from a higher energy state to a lower one. When it does the "extra" energy leaves in the form of a gamma ray. That's gamma decay. The gamma ray is electromagnetic energy. That means that there is not a particle of anything involved in this event. Gamma decay is the emergence of that gamma ray from the nucleus of an atom that is going down in its energy state
What is gamma ray in physics?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation much the same as visible light, but with a very short wavelength and very high energy.
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 energy of a gamma ray?
A gamma ray will have energy in excess of 100 keV (kiloelectronvolts).
Is gamma a radiation ray?
Yes, gamma radiation is rays. Specifically it is photons, like light but much much higher in energy.
What are the 7 forms of em energy?
The 7 forms of electromagnetic energy are: Gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet ray, visible light, infrared, microwave, and radio wave.
Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.
What are the similarities between light and gamma rays?
Light ray and gamma ray both travel in a straight line.
What type of energy have wavelengths shorter than visible light?
Ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma radiation do.
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray
What kind of energy is total energy?
Gamma ray.
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.
How many protons does gamma particles have?
None. A gamma ray is energy.
