What rays come from a Xerox machine?
If by "Xerox machine" you mean a copier or printer marketed by the Xerox Corporation, the only rays emitted are rays of light emitted by parts of some copiers.
How and where are gamma rays produced?
Gamma rays are particularly energetic photons. On Earth, they are emitted from radioactive substances, during radioactive decay and are also created in x-Ray machines. They can also be produced during very energetic events in space, such as the explosion of a star. Cosmic Rays are gamma rays that continually bombard the Earth.
Do X-rays consist of radiation similar to gamma rays?
Both X-rays and gamma rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation, so yes, the radiation is similar. It's the same type of radiation, in fact.In older sources you may see X-rays listed as having longer wavelengths (and lower energy) than gamma rays, but in modern usage the wavelengths of the two overlap to a degree. The general distinction is that electromagnetic radiation emitted by an atomic nucleus is a "gamma ray" and electromagnetic radiation emitted by an electron outside the nucleus is an "X-ray" even if the two have the same wavelength.
What type of radiation is emitted only during detonation?
None. All types of radiation emitted by an exploding nuclear device are also emitted under other conditions, including natural conditions. These types of radiation are: alpha, beta, gamma, neutron, x-rays, IR, visible light, UV, EMP. Some types of naturally present radiation NOT produced by exploding nuclear devices are: cosmic rays, muon showers, proton.
On the atomic level what causes an electromagnetic wave to be emitted?
On any level the movement of charge carriers (electrons, protons etc) cause EM radiation to be emitted. Gamma rays are also emitted as the result of some radioactive decay reactions All radioactive decay reactions produce EM radiation of some kind because they involve the movement of charge carriers such as the ejection of alpha particles (double positive charge).
Gamma rays are emitted by?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
Gamma rays are emitted by what?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
How do people use uranium rays?
Uranium has many applications but the use of emitted rays is not important.Uranium is used as nuclear fuel or for atomic bombs.
Are x-rays emitted during radioactive decay?
Yes they are. Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay
Where does the sun get its gamma rays from?
The sun is essentially a massive atomic bomb which is taking billions of years to explode. The gamma rays are emitted through a very complex process that converts hydrogen into helium.
How did Moseley establish a more accurate periodic table?
Moseley discovered a relation berween the atomic number and the wavelength of X-rays emitted by an element.
What is one unique fact about beta particales?
Beta particles are electrons, generally emitted by the cathode of a glow discharge system. When beta particles was discovered the atomic model was not known and the new "rays" were called with progressive names alfa rays, beta rays, gamma rays and so on.
Another way to say the rays are emitted is?
Rays are given off
What rays come from a Xerox machine?
If by "Xerox machine" you mean a copier or printer marketed by the Xerox Corporation, the only rays emitted are rays of light emitted by parts of some copiers.
What are blue rays?
They are the rays of radioactivity that are emitted from the bluetooth earpieces. They cause cancer.
What are blue tooth rays?
They are the rays of radioactivity that are emitted from the bluetooth earpieces. They cause cancer.
What are becquerel rays?
Rys emitted by radioactive substances.
