What deflects gamma radiation?
Thick, dense lead deflects gamma radiations.
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.
Which do you think will penetrate farther into a block of lead x-rays or gamma rays explain why?
Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.
The radiation that is most damaging to humans is?
Gamma radiation is most damaging to humans.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
How are gamma radiation formed?
How gamma radiation is formed
What is gamma radiaton made up of?
Gamma Radiation is a wave of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, and is created by sub-atomic activity - such as nuclear fission and fusion. Gamma is alos an ionizing form of radiation, along with UV and X-rays, so can cause serious bodily harm, or over long periods of time death, if directly exposed e.g. if you touch a gamma radiation source.

Which two types of radiation will pass through a sheet of card?
Gamma radiation
Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?
No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.
This nuclear energy is pure energy not made of any particle?
Gamma radiation
The radiation that is most damaging to humans is?
Gamma radiation is most damaging to humans.
