Gamma radiation consists of high energy waves similar to x-rays.
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced using high-energy electrons that interact with a target material, resulting in the emission of X-ray photons.
The emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom is called spontaneous emission. This process occurs when an atom transitions from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, releasing a photon in the form of electromagnetic radiation in the process.
Nuclear radiation is the emission of high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves from the nucleus of an atom. It can take the form of alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, or neutron radiation, and it can be ionizing, meaning it has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms.
This process is called particle radiation or particle emission, and it occurs when high-energy particles such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays are released from the nucleus of an atom. This emission can happen during radioactive decay or in nuclear reactions.
Emission spectrum is produced by nebulae consisting of atoms that release photons when electrons jump from high-energy states to lower-energy states.
Yes, an emission spectrum is created when a gas is heated at high pressure. The high pressure excites the gas atoms, causing them to emit specific wavelengths of light as they return to their ground state. This results in a unique emission spectrum characteristic of the gas being studied.
gamma
Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level
Gamma emission represents the release of high-energy electromagnetic radiation from the nucleus of an atom. It is the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation and is typically associated with nuclear decay processes or nuclear reactions. Gamma emissions can penetrate matter easily due to their high energy and are commonly used in medical imaging and radiation therapy.
Gamma radiation is the emission of an photon from the nucleus with energy relative to the energy step that the nucleus takes in coming down from an excited state down to either an intermediate state or to the ground state.
x rays
The term "X-ray" refers to the frequency on the spectrum. The energy behind it can be very low, like ones used in the hospital for chest xrays, or they can be very high, like the ones used in the oil industry to check welds on pipes. (BTW the high energy used on pipes is high enough to kill a person. Think like a focused hiroshima)
