Gamma radiation
How are gamma radiation formed?
How gamma radiation is formed
What is the difference between radiation exposure and contamination?
Radiation exposure is being exposed to radiation (as x rays, gamma, beta, neutrons, alpha, ...etc) but contamination is breathing or ingesting something polluted with contaminants as mercury, carbon dioxide, uranium, plutonium, arsenic, ...etc
What deflects gamma radiation?

What are roentgens?
Roentgens are units of radiation exposure used for x-rays and gamma rays. They are defined in terms of the number of ions produced in one cubic centimeter of air by the radiation.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
How is gamma radiation used in medicine?
gamma radiation is used in cancer treatment. the most common source of gamma radiation is.
What is another name for gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength and therefore high frequency and high energy per photon. Gamma radiation is also known as gamma rays.
