A gamma ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are the highest energy electromagnetic radiation, and they are generated by nuclear processes. Use the links below to learn more. The gauge particles of electromagnetic force are photons, which have both particle and wave properties.
What else can I help you with?
What type of nuclear decay produces energy instead of a particle?
Gamma decay produces energy in the form of gamma rays, which are high-energy electromagnetic radiation, instead of particles. Gamma decay occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus transitions to a lower energy state by releasing gamma rays.
Is it possible for gamma decay to produce a new element?
no, gamma isn't really decay as the radioactive ion doesn't emit any particles. In alpha and beta decay, different size particles are emitted as the nucleus decays but in gamma radiatio the ion gives off an ionising electromagnetic wave.
What are the four types of nuclear decay in order?
The four types of nuclear decay are alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and neutron decay. Alpha decay involves the emission of an alpha particle, beta decay involves the emission of beta particles (either electrons or positrons), gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, and neutron decay involves the emission of a neutron.
What develops when an unstable atom gives off particles and gamma rays?
When an unstable atom gives off particles and gamma rays, it undergoes radioactive decay. This process helps the atom achieve a more stable configuration by releasing excess energy in the form of particles (such as alpha or beta particles) and gamma rays. The atom transforms into a different element or isotope as a result of this decay.
Does nucleus changes its charge while emitting from beta and gamma particles simultaneously?
No, the nucleus does not change its overall charge when emitting beta and gamma particles simultaneously. Beta particles are high-energy electrons or positrons emitted during beta decay, whereas gamma particles are high-energy photons emitted during gamma decay. Both types of particles are neutral, so the overall charge of the nucleus remains the same.
How can gamma decay without having mass?
It can't, as far as I know. "Gamma decay" doesn't refer to the decay of gamma rays; rather, it refers to a decay of ATOMS, or some other particles, which produces gamma rays in the process.
Does Gamma decay emits energy but no particles?
Yes, gamma decay emits energy in the form of gamma radiation, which is a high-energy electromagnetic wave. Gamma decay does not emit any particles, only electromagnetic radiation.
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
From weakest to strongest decay, the order is: Gamma decay - involves the emission of high-energy photons. Beta decay - involves the emission of beta particles (electrons or positrons). Alpha decay - involves the emission of alpha particles (helium nuclei).

What three products of radioactive decay?
alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation
Which of the following is not produced by nuclear decay A Alpha particles B Beta particles C Gamma rays D Delta particles?
There is no such thing as delta particles in nuclear decay.

What particles can thorium emit?
Alpha particles but also electrons and gamma radiations (Th 232).
What are three models of radioactive decay?
emission of alpha, beta or gamma particles
