What else can I help you with?
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves. This means that microwaves have longer wavelengths than gamma rays.
Why do gamma and x rays coming from space doesn't reach earth surface?
Gamma rays and X-rays from space do not reach the Earth's surface because they are absorbed by the atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective shield, with layers that absorb these high-energy photons, preventing them from penetrating to the surface. This absorption is crucial for life on Earth, as these forms of radiation can be harmful. Instead, gamma rays and X-rays are detected by satellites and space-based observatories above the atmosphere.
Why are gamma rays from objects in space can not be dectected on earth surface?
Gamma rays from space cannot be detected on the Earth's surface because they are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a protective shield, preventing high-energy radiation, including gamma rays, from reaching the ground. Only through specialized instruments placed in space, such as satellites, can we observe these high-energy emissions from cosmic sources.
Are gamma rays blocked by the atmosphere?
Yes, a majority of gamma rays are blocked by the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a shield against the harmful effects of gamma rays by absorbing and scattering them. Only a small fraction of gamma rays from space can penetrate into Earth's atmosphere.
Could gamma rays be blocked by the Earth's atmosphere?
Yes. Our atmosphere blocks cosmic and solar gamma rays.
Is communicating with sattilites is an application of gamma rays?
No. Satellite communication is done with radio waves (and sometimes microwaves). Same stuff that communicates with your cell phone.
How do Satellites for observing X-rays and Gamma rays eg Chandra X-ray observatory work?
they use gamma rays... i think. top that peeps!
What studies gamma rays when it is in orbit?
As far as NASA satellites, both SWIFT and GLAST "study gamma rays", just in different ways
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Are there problems with gamma rays?
no gamma rays are the best
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.
Why use satellites and earth orbiting observatories to study the universe at x ray or gamma ray wave lengths?
Those radiations hardly reach Earth's surface, because they are absorbed by the atmosphere.
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or xrays?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas X-rays have a lower frequency than gamma rays.
What are gamma rays crest?
gamma rays are Vincent is weird
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves. This means that microwaves have longer wavelengths than gamma rays.
Are gamma rays neutrons?
No, gamma rays are not neutrons. They are electromagnetic rays or electromagnetic energy.
