What is an x-ray photon?
A photon is a packet of electromagnetic radiation. An X-ray photon is one of these with a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers.
Energy released during nuclear fusion?
gamma ray photon
What is gamma particle?
an energy ray with no mass and no charge
What has the least penetrating power gamma ray alpha particle or beta particle?
The gamma ray because a photon does not have electric charge and is thus does not experience force in a EM field. All the others are charged particles
What is the vocabulary for this is a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus?
Gamma Ray
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
Why is a gamma-ray photon more energetic than an X-ray photon?
Gamma ray photons have a higher frequency (and therefore carry more energy) than X-ray photons.
Amoung Uv ray and gamma ray Which is the stronger ray?
Gamma rays. Each individual photon is more energetic, at any rate.
What is an x-ray photon?
A photon is a packet of electromagnetic radiation. An X-ray photon is one of these with a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers.
Energy released during nuclear fusion?

What has the least penetrating power gamma ray alpha particle or beta particle?
The gamma ray because a photon does not have electric charge and is thus does not experience force in a EM field. All the others are charged particles
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
Why do photon of red light has a less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
The energy of a photon is correlated with its wave frequency - and gamma rays are by definition very high frequency photons compared to red light photons.
Are x-rays energy the same as gamma rays?
Since x-rays have lower frequencies than gamma rays have, each x-ray photon carries less energy than a gamma ray photon carries. Both carry enough energy to damage living cells.
Why are gamma rays the most penetrating of all electromagnetic rays?
Because at their frequencies, each gamma ray photon has more energy than a photon of any other form of electromagnetic radiation.
What is Compton effect?
The increase in wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, especially of an x-ray or a gamma-ray photon, scattered by an electron.
