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.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
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 are the features of a gamma ray?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves ... physically and functionally identical to radio, light, heat, etc. ... with the highest observed frequencies (shortest observed wavelengths). In experiments designed to reveal the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation, gamma ray particles (photons) have the highest observed photon energies.
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.
