it has no charges
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
The symbol for gamma-ray is the lower case of the third letter of the Greek alphabet,γ
an energy ray with no mass and no charge
No. Gamma rays are massless and have no charge
Gamma
it has no charges
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
The symbol for gamma-ray is the lower case of the third letter of the Greek alphabet,γ
No, a gamma ray does not have a plus two charge. A gamma ray is electromagnetic energy, and has no charge at all. It is the alpha particle, a type of particulate radiation, that has a charge of plus two. Use the links below for more information.
it would be charge
True. A gamma ray is a high-energy photon, and thus moves at the speed of light. And, like all photons, it has no charge.
an energy ray with no mass and no charge
No. Gamma rays are massless and have no charge
A gamma ray represents a high energy photon. It is a biologically hazardous burst of electromagnetic radiation. The French chemist Paul Villard was the person that first discovered the gamma ray in 1900.
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Neither changes. A gamma ray is just energy, and the nucleus simply transitions to a lower energy state.
