Yes, but not to any usable amount. The amount of energy that comes from gamma rays bursts are, by the time they reach here, quite small. The INTENSITY of the bursts may be large, but they don't last very long. Also, they come from outside our galaxy, so they have lost most of their energy by the time they get to us. And the direction they arrive from is impossible to predict, so any collector would be impossible to aim for maximum efficiency.
If a ten meter by ten meter collector was 100% efficient in converting gamma ray energy into electricity, and was able to collect enough energy from gamma rays to power a 100 watt light bulb for ten minutes; the amount of gamma ray energy hitting our Earth would kill all humanity in less than a week. In a sense, it is a blessing that there is not a lot of gamma ray energy reaching us!
What else can I help you with?
What is energy released from stars?
The energy from stars are trasmitted via electomagnetic waves. The most common one being visible light. Others include infra-red (heat waves), UV, and dangerous gamma-rays. These waves can travel in a vacuum (space).
Were there gamma rays in the singularity that gave rise to the big bang?
Yes, it is believed that gamma rays were present during the early stages of the Big Bang, produced as a result of high-energy processes. However, the extreme conditions of the early universe make it impossible to directly observe these gamma rays.
Do Gamma ray burst form a black hole?
In an indirect way, yes. Gama rays are the highest-intensity form of electromagnetic energy. They usually indicate a very power energy source. Most black holes are formed by exploding stars called supernovas. These events can be detected as gamma ray bursts.
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.
Which stars produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle?
Stars that produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle are predominantly those with a mass about 1.3 times the mass of our Sun or greater.Our Sun, and stars comparable in mass or less, predominantly use the proton-proton cycle.
Can light from stars be turned into energy?
Light from the stars is energy. However, the amount of energy that this light accounts for is too small to be of any use.
What is a gamma-ray burst, and how does it happen?
It happens when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion . A gamma ray burst is when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion. BOOM
The electromagnetic waves with the highest energy?
Gamma rays have the highest energy among all electromagnetic waves, with wavelengths shorter than X-rays. They are produced by nuclear reactions, stars, and other high-energy processes in the universe.
What region of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest energy waves?
That would be gamma, or γ.The electromagnetic spectrum goes:Radio wavesMicrowavesInfraredVisible Light (ROGYBIV)UltravioletX RayGamma Ray.The closer to the bottom, the more energy.
What are the sources of gamma rays?
Gamma rays can be produced by nuclear reactions, such as radioactive decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion. They are also generated by high-energy processes in stars, supernovae, and other celestial bodies. Additionally, gamma rays can be created in high-energy particle interactions, such as those that occur in particle accelerators.
What are the components of gamma rays?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation characterized by high energy and extremely short wavelengths. They are composed of photons with no mass or charge, and they exhibit properties similar to X-rays, but with even higher energy levels. Gamma rays are produced by nuclear reactions, such as those in stars or nuclear decay processes.
What type of em has the highest energy?
Gamma rays have the highest energy of all electromagnetic waves, with wavelengths measured in picometers and energies in the MeV range. They are produced from nuclear reactions, such as those in stars, and are commonly detected through specialized equipment like gamma-ray telescopes.
What electromagnetic wave is found in space or nuclear explosions?
Gamma rays. These high energy electromagnetic waves are given of in nuclear reactions (including those in stars)

What is the color of the gamma star?
green
