What happens to the nucleus's energy when gamma rays are emitted?

It decreases, following the law of conservation of energy.
It will be a discrete value of energy (quanta) released; due to the specific energy levels of the atoms which would be released at a certain frequency.

What does the wavelength have to do with nuclear energy?
Nothing, except that gamma rays are emitted in the fission process and from radioactive waste.
What type of radiation is emitted by molybdenum-99?
???
What is a high energy ray emitted from some radioactive atoms that is not affected by a magnetic field?
This is a gamma ray. It is very high frequency electromagnetic radiation.
What happens when a positron and a electron collide?
They annihilate each other to produce energy, in the form of gamma rays.
What electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?
The highest energy are the gamma rays.
What happens to beta alpha and gamma radiation after they are emitted?
they are absorbed, depositing their energy in whatever absorbed them.
A penetrating ray of energy emitted by an unstable nucleus?
Gamma rays.
What is a high -energy photons emited by a radioisotope?
Gamma radiation is high-energy photons emitted by a radioisotope.
He high energy photon emitted by a nucleus during fission and radioactive decay?
gamma ray

Gamma rays are emitted by what?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
Gamma rays are emitted by?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
What is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom called?
Gamma radiation is high-energy photons emitted by a radioisotope.
How is the nucleus affected in gamma decay?
When the nucleus emits an alpha or beta particle, it is in the exited state. To return to the ground state, it has to emit energy. It emits this energy in the form of gamma rays. There is no change in the atomic no or the mass no when it emits gamma rays, but it does decrease the energy in the nucleus when gamma rays are emitted
How radio isotopes can be identified?
Radioisotopes are identified by the halflife, type of radiations emitted, energy of these radiations, spectrometry (mass, gamma, alpha), etc.
What is the electron emitted from the atom called?
the gamma ray.
What type of radiation is emitted by molybdenum-99?
???
