X rays and gamma rays are both in the electromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays can come from nuclear bombs (which can pass through metals and concrete). X rays are used in many places, in the hospital, the air port, and many more, I don't really know what their source is I'll have to check in my science encyclopedia.

Gamma rays comes from excited nucleus just after an alpha or a beta decay and also in neutron capture in fission. X-rays originates from x-ray tube. It is an atomic phenomena but gamma rays nuclear phenomena.

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.

How would you compare and contrast X ray bursts and gamma ray bursts?
If we consider the bursts of high energy electromagnetic radiation from stellar or galactic sources, we encounter bursts of X-rays and gamma rays. The two are similar in that both are examples of high energy electromagnetic energy, and both can be generated by certain stars or galaxies. Additionally, both are the result of nuclear reactions in the star or at sites within the galaxy. But with gamma rays, the sources may be fewer than with X-rays, and the gamma rays are higher in energy than the X-rays.

Do night lights kill brain cells?
Unless the light sources emit harmful forms of radiation such a X-rays or Gamma-rays the answer is no, they do not!
What are the sources of gamma rays?
good question

Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
What electromagnetic waves have the highest frequencies?
Gamma rays.Gamma rays.Gamma rays.Gamma rays.
Do both x rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
What are the similarities and differences between Xrays and gamma rays?
What are the differences between x-rays and gamma rays?
Do gamma rays have a higher or lower energy level than X-rays?
gamma rays have a way stonger/higher energy level then x rays
What kills harmful bacteria in food gamma rays or x-rays?
Gamma ray
