Which of the following is not a component of the radiation emitted by a radioactive sample a.alpha radiation b.delta radiation c.gamma radiation d.beta radiation?

Radioactive substances can emit alpha particles, gamma radiation (gamma rays) and beta radiation (beta particles). What they do not emit is delta radiation.It causes transmutation.It has a mass of 4 amus.


Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?

The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.


When a gamma ray is emitted by a necleus the nucleus then has appreciably less mass or charge?

When a gamma ray is emitted by a nucleus, neither the mass nor the charge of the nucleus changes. Gamma emission involves the release of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, but it does not alter the fundamental properties of the nucleus such as mass or charge.


Which type of radiation alpha beta or gamma results in the greatest change in mass number?

alpha - 2 neutrons and 2 protons released or neutron collision with a fissionable nucleus resulting in the fissioning of the atom into two fission fragments and more neutrons creating two atoms each a little less than half the atomic mass of the original atom


Which two types of radiation will pass through a sheet of card?

X-rays and gamma rays are the two types of radiation that can pass through a sheet of card due to their high energy and penetrating abilities.

How much does an atom's mass change when it emits gamma radiation?

An atom's mass does not change when it emits gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with no mass or charge, so the total mass of the atom remains constant. The energy and momentum carried by the gamma radiation may cause the atom to recoil, but the mass of the atom itself does not change.


Do gamma ray have mass?

They are electromagnetic radiation, so no.


What types of radiation has no mass and no charge?

What are is gamma radiation made up of?

Gamma radiation is composed of electromagnetic waves with very high energy and short wavelengths. It does not have mass or charge. Gamma radiation is emitted during radioactive decay or nuclear reactions.


Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?

Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.


What types of particles does gamma radiation release?

Gamma radiation releases electromagnetic particles called gamma rays. These are high-energy photons that travel at the speed of light and have no mass or charge. They are the most penetrating type of radiation.


Does an atomic increase through gamma radiation?

it remains the same gamma rays have no mass and no electrical charge


What types of radiation has no mass?

electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, light, x-rays, gamma rays)


Why do gamma rays have no mass at all?

Gamma rays have no mass because they are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of massless particles called photons. Photons, including gamma rays, do not have rest mass, but they do have energy and momentum.
