Which electromagnetic wave has the highest energy?
Gamma radiation is the name some energetic radiation.
What deflects gamma radiation?
Thick, dense lead deflects gamma radiations.
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 has higher energy infrared light or gamma rays?
The energy of gamma radiation is much higher than the energy of infrared radiation. You are emitting infrared radiation, but gamma radiation is very harmful to living tissue.
How are gamma radiation formed?
How gamma radiation is formed
Which electromagnetic wave has the highest energy?
Gamma radiation is the name some energetic radiation.
What deflects gamma radiation?
Thick, dense lead deflects gamma radiations.
How is gamma radiation used in medicine?
gamma radiation is used in cancer treatment. the most common source of gamma radiation is.
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.
The radiation that is most damaging to humans is?
Gamma radiation is most damaging to humans.
How does gamma radiation affect the nucleus?
In the case of pure gamma decay, the element will not decay into another element or another isotope, like with alpha- or beta radiation, but it will lose energy in the form of a (gamma) photon. The atomic number and mass number will not change.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
yes there is extreme amounts of gamma radiation in in nuclear bombs
What radiation type has the greatest ability to penetrate human tissue?
Gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating, beta radiation penetrates and lasts longer than alpha but also "dies out" relatively quickly, but Gamma radiation will not only penetrate deep, but it will also stay long.
Which has higher energy infrared light or gamma rays?
The energy of gamma radiation is much higher than the energy of infrared radiation. You are emitting infrared radiation, but gamma radiation is very harmful to living tissue.
Are sound waves or gamma waves sources of radiation?
yes as they travel from one molecule to another.
