What is another name for gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength and therefore high frequency and high energy per photon. Gamma radiation is also known as gamma rays.
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.
What types of particles does gamma radiation release?
Gamma radiation is not a particle, is it a high energy electromagnetic wave.
How are gamma radiation formed?
How gamma radiation is formed
How is gamma radiation used in medicine?
gamma radiation is used in cancer treatment. the most common source of gamma radiation is.

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.
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.
What types of particles does gamma radiation release?
Gamma radiation is not a particle, is it a high energy electromagnetic wave.
Does gamma radiation have no mass?
No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.
