What branch of chemistry are gamma rays in?
This branch of chemistry is called radiochemistry. Radiochemistry is the study of chemical reactions under nuclear radiations; largely, sometimes radiochemistry is defined as chemistry of radioactive materials and radiochemical reactions.
What can you use to detect depleted uranium?
Analytical chemistry, gamma spectrometry, alpha spectrometry
What are the three most common type of radiation in chemistry?
The most common radiations are alpha, beta and gamma.
Which type of radiation-alpha beta or gamma- is most dangerous to living things?
Ionizing radiation can be dangerous to living things, as it upsets the chemistry in living cells by breaking covalent bonds between atoms. Even if the radiation is not ionizing, such as in neutron flux, damage can be done there as well, due to activation processes that change the chemical identity of atoms.
Is B subtilis gamma hemolytic?
gamma/alpha hemolysis

How can you prove uranium is present in a solution?
Applying a method of analytical chemistry to this solution; also testing with a gamma rays radiometer.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
What is gamma cup?
gamma cup is a part of Marchantia on its thallus which has gamma
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
What is a daily example of gamma waves?
Gamma rays (gamma waves) are NOT used on a daily basis.
What deflects gamma radiation?
Thick, dense lead deflects gamma radiations.
Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. The gamma ray is considered an electromagnetic wave.
