they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
They never used hydrogen bombs in Japan. They used nuclear bombs which produces gamma rays not the lethal doses of x-rays produced by the hydrogen bomb.
The Incredible Hulk was created by Gamma Rays.
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with extremely high frequencies, typically ranging from about (10^{19}) to (10^{24}) hertz (Hz). This high frequency corresponds to very short wavelengths, often less than 0.01 nanometers. Gamma rays are produced by nuclear reactions, certain types of radioactive decay, and cosmic events, making them highly energetic and penetrating.
Gamma rays pose significant health risks primarily due to their high energy and penetrating ability. Exposure can damage living tissues and DNA, increasing the risk of cancer and other serious health issues. Additionally, high doses can cause acute radiation sickness, leading to symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and even death. Effective shielding and safety protocols are essential to mitigate these risks in environments where gamma radiation is present.
nuclear radiation, either prompt or in fallout. Can be any mix of Alpha, Beta, X-rays, Gamma, and/or Neutron.
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
yes. the fallout also emits gamma rays.
Gamma rays.
Gamma rays from space are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. However, gamma rays can still be detected on the ground as it is naturally emitted by radioactive decay occurring in rocks.
Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation emitted from the atomic nucleus. They have no charge because they are composed of photons, which are elementary particles that do not possess any electric charge. This makes gamma rays neutral and highly penetrating.
Yes, gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by radioactive elements during radioactive decay processes. They are high-energy photons with no mass or charge, and can penetrate through materials easily.
Visible light, Ultra-violet, Infra-red, Gamma-rays and X-rays (amongst others)
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.
Alpha particles are emitted by heavy elements like uranium and radium. Beta particles are emitted by elements like strontium and tritium. Gamma rays are emitted by radioactive decay of unstable nuclei across all elements.
Yes, supernovas emit gamma rays as part of the explosion process. These gamma rays carry a significant amount of energy and are one of the most powerful forms of radiation emitted during a supernova event.
Three examples of gamma rays are those emitted during radioactive decay, produced by nuclear reactions in stars, and used in medical imaging techniques such as gamma camera scans.
Gamma rays are emitted during nuclear reactions or radioactive decay processes when an atomic nucleus transitions to a lower energy state, releasing high-energy photons in the form of gamma rays. This emission can occur in various situations, such as in nuclear fusion reactions, radioactive decay of unstable isotopes, or high-energy astrophysical phenomena.
