Do gamma rays have negative charge?
No, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which has no charge.
Can consentration of gamma rays vaporize?
forget what the scientists say gamma rays depending on energy can be extremely hot for example a gamma ray burst at a distance of 300 light years can vaporize a planet and those gamma rays probably have temperatures well up into the the trillions if not quadrillions of degrees. So yes a high concentration of gamma rays will vaporize a human, but not just that they will vaporize whatever is surrounding and in front of it. For instance if gamma rays hit the top of the earth's atmosphere and there energy is transferred to heat those gamma rays will vaporize the ground the water or whatever they happen to hit kind of like billions of megatons of energy
What has shortest wavelength?
X-rays and Gamma rays. Radio Waves have the longest.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wavelength and the most energy?
gamma rays
Are x-rays the most powerful solar radiation?
No, that would be gamma rays. They have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays are what cause radiation sickness and death when people are exposed to them for even a short time.
What are Gamma rays and neutrons used for?
Go on WIkipedia.
What is the quality factor of gamma rays?
Gamma rays have a quality factor of about one.
What were the rays emanating from uranium?
* Alpha rays (particles) * Beta rays * Gamma rays * Spontaneous fission neutrons
Who have the highest energy gamma rays or neutrons produced from nuclear reactor?
Not sure
What radiation is released in the first 60 seconds after the detonation?
Light, thermal, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, beta. Later the fallout will release alpha, beta, and gamma rays.
What does the fission of U 235 produce?
Heat, fission products, neutrons, gamma rays
What are the harmful rays radiated from uranium?
Principally alpha particles, but also gamma rays, neutrons from the spontaneous fission, etc.
What is the harmful radiation released by nuclear wastes?
There are various kinds of harmful ionizing radiation. These include alpha, beta, and gamma rays; free neutrons; X-rays; and ultraviolet light. Depending on the specifics of the waste, nuclear waste can emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays, and neutrons.
Does uranium give of invisible rays?
Yes, uranium isotopes emit alpha particles, gamma rays, beta rays, spontaneous fission neutrons.
What kind of rays does uranium 235 and plutonium 239 release?
Plutonium 239 emit: alpha, gamma, spontaneous fission neutrons Uranium 235 emit: alpha, gamma, spontaneous fission neutrons
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
When an atom has an unbalanced ratio of protons and neutrons what will it do to try to stabilze itself?
release particles & gamma rays , A+
