What is x-ray and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
Are xrays also gamma rays?
No; gamma rays are considered a separate category of radiation, more energetic than x-rays.
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.
Which do you think will penetrate farther into a block of lead x-rays or gamma rays explain why?
Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.
What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
What radiation is not used for communication?
Gamma rays, x-rays, UV radiation and so on.
What is x rays and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
What is x-ray and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
Are the X-rays and gamma rays transverse?
yes, as it is an electromagnetic radiation.
Radiation that is similar to x-rays and is not composed of particles?
gamma radiation
Gamma radiation is most similar to?
x-rays
Why are gamma rays and X-rays harmful to students?
Gamma rays and X-rays are very high energy, highly penetrating forms of radiation. This is harmful to humans as these forms of radiation can cause DNA damage.
What waves is shorter than x rays and gamma rays?
By definition, gamma is the highest classification of electromagnetic radiation. The highest energy rays are from cosmic radiation and are called "very high-energy gamma rays."
Does gamma radiation have no mass?
No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
What types of radiation has no mass?
electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, light, x-rays, gamma rays)
Are xrays also gamma rays?
No; gamma rays are considered a separate category of radiation, more energetic than x-rays.
What aspect of earth makes it difficult to observe Gamma rays X-rays and Ultraviolet rays?
high-energy radiation like X-rays and gamma rays are absorbed by our atmosphere
