What deflects gamma radiation?
Thick, dense lead deflects gamma radiations.
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.
How are gamma radiation formed?
How gamma radiation is formed
Who invent gamma rays?
No one "invented" gamma radiation. It has been here since the beginning of time. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, while working with Radium, discovered the effects of gamma radiation in 1900, noting that gamma radiation was different than the previously identified alpha and beta 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.
Chemistry What is a gamma?
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.
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.
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.
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.
How were Alpha decay and beta decay discovered?
Alpha, beta, and gamma radiation were first observed from a sample of Radium in a magnetic field.
