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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What has a lower frequency x rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays.
Does x-rays or gamma rays have lower energy?
X-rays have lower energy than gamma rays. Gamma rays are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, while x-rays have lower energy and shorter wavelengths than gamma rays.
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.
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet 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 is x-ray and gamma rays?
X-rays and gamma rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelengths. X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging and security screening, while gamma rays are typically associated with nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. Both types of radiation can penetrate materials and tissues, but gamma rays have higher energy levels and are more penetrating than x-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.
Which do you think will penetrate farther into a block of lead x-rays or gamma rays explain why?
Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.
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.
Do x-rays have a higher or lower energy than gamma rays?
Gamma rays have higher energy than X-rays. Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while X-rays have lower energy and fall between ultraviolet and gamma rays on the spectrum.
Do x-rays have more energy than gamma rays?
No, gamma rays have the highest energy of all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
