Why x ray or gamma ray are not emitted from blackbody spectrum?

For gamma rays, it's by definition. Gamma rays are emitted from nuclear decay events, so even if a black body were to emit a photon with the same frequency as a gamma ray, it wouldn't be a gamma ray.
X-rays, though... at the high frequency end of the spectrum, the intensity of the radiation emitted is proportional to e-v. Since v (which should really be a Greek nu) for X-rays starts at around 3x1016, e-v is a very very small number indeed.

What is the electron emitted from the atom called?
the gamma ray.
Can X rays have higher energies than gamma rays?
Gamma rays have energies higher than that of X-rays. It is true that there is some overlap of the upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum, but the X-ray spectrum falls below that of the gamma ray spectrum. For these reasons, if someone asks if X-rays can have higher energies than gamma rays, the answer would be in the negative.
A penetrating ray of energy emitted by an unstable nucleus?
Gamma rays.
What type of radiation is emitted from Iridium-192?
The radiation emited is gamma ray
Do gamma rays have a higher frequency than x rays?
Generally speaking, it is gamma rays that have a higher frequency (and energy) than X-rays. The upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum enjoy a bit of overlap, but the X-ray does not have a higher frequency than the gamma ray.
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
Alpha ray gama ray which one is the electro magnetism?
Gamma rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
He high energy photon emitted by a nucleus during fission and radioactive decay?
gamma ray
When a gamma ray is emitted by a necleus the nucleus then has appreciably less mass or charge?
it would be charge
The specific pattern of colors emitted by excited atoms is called a?
'Spectrum'.
What kind of wave is a gamma ray?
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.
What is an example of a gamma ray-?
It is like high radiation that comes from a star.
