What else can I help you with?
Why are proton rays used?
The advantage of using proton rays is that they can be shaped to conform to the irregular shape of the tumor more precisely than x rays and gamma rays
Does Radiation therapy use proton rays?
Yes
What does cobalt therapy use?
It uses high energy, penetrating waves or particles such as x rays, gamma rays, proton rays, or neutron rays
What does X-ray therapy radiation treatment use?
It uses high energy, penetrating waves or particles such as x rays, gamma rays, proton rays, or neutron rays
Can you produce x-ray by protons?
yes x-rays can be produce by proton
What is difference between a proton and a photon?
The photon is the quanta of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, light, x-rays, gamma rays). Quanta are the smallest units of something allowed.
What is the overall result of the proton-proton chain?
The overall result of the proton-proton chain is the fusion of four protons to form a helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons) along with releasing energy in the form of gamma rays and neutrinos. This process is the main energy source for stars like our Sun.
Why is energy released in the proton-proton chain reaction?
Energy is released in the proton-proton chain reaction because when protons combine to form helium nuclei, a small amount of mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, Emc2. This energy is released in the form of gamma rays and neutrinos.
Do proton-proton chain convert four hydrogen nuclei into one helium nucleus?
Yes, the proton-proton chain involves a series of nuclear reactions where four hydrogen nuclei (protons) are fused together to form one helium nucleus. This process releases energy in the form of gamma rays and solar neutrinos.
What is the net loss of hydrogen of each full cycle of the proton proton chain?
Four.
Where does sun comes from?
Through an internal thermonuclear fusion reaction, the sun uses four protons in a process called the proton-proton chain which results in the release of two positrons, two neutrinos, two gamma rays, helium, and energy.
What is Electromagnetic radiation that is emitted from the sun?
The University Corporation for Atomospheric Research's High Altitude Observatory reports, "The light or photons emitted from the Sun cover a broad spectrum from very long wavelengths such as radio to very short wavelengths such as xray." See the related link below for more information.
