It showed that most gamma ray bursts come from other galaxies, not our own. This means that gamma ray bursts must be extremely powerful.

What are the main causes of a gamma ray burst?

The main cause of a Gamma Ray Burt, or GRB, is when a star dies it collapses into itself. Same consept as a black hole. But when GRB's occur, the tar spins very fast, and flattens itself out like a pancake, and a shot of gamma radiation is projected outward on both sides of the star. There are two types of GRB's, short and long bursts. Fortunately these are very rare, and the chances of one of these hitting the earth is 1 in 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. If one of these do ht the earth it will immediately destroy our ozone killing everything on Earth instantly.


What is the relative charge of gamma particles?

The gamma particle's symbol is the lowercase Greek gamma, the velar, which looks like a lower case western v, but the base has a narrow loop, and the left top has a curved serif. In print, it looks like a Y, shifted down as if it were a lower case letter with a descender. We can't represent it here on Answers.com, but the Related Link below will take you to WikiPedia where you can see a representation of it. The charge of a gamma particle is that of the photon, which is zero.


How do the electric charges of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays differ from each other?

From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]


What happens to the atomic mass and number during gamma ray emission?

The atomic number and atomic mass number do not change as a result of gamma emission. That said, gamma emission is the result of the nucleus stabilizing itself from an excited state that was caused by some event, such as an alpha, beta, neutron, or some other kind of emission. As a result, when you look at the big picture, the atomic number and atomic mass number do change as a function of the event preceding the gamma event. The only time this is a distinct event is in the metastable nuclides, such as Tc-99m, where the gamma emission that follows the beta- emission does not immediately follow it - it can be delayed with a half-life of six hours.


How long did it take Marie curie to make the X-ray?

Marie Curie did not invent the X-ray. X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895. Marie Curie was a pioneering scientist in the field of radioactivity and won Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry for her research on radioactivity and the discovery of the elements polonium and radium.

Does gamma have the same mass as 1 electron?

No, a gamma ray is a massless particle with no rest mass, whereas an electron has a measurable mass.

Does 0 -1 e represent a gamma ray?

No, the notation 0 -1 e does not represent a gamma ray. It is possible that you are referring to the decay notation of an electron capture process, where an electron from the inner shell is captured by the nucleus, resulting in the emission of a neutrino.

Does the nucleus mass or atomic number change during gamma ray decay?

The emission of a gamma ray changes neither the mass number nor the atomic number of a nucleus. An example of an equation for gamma emission is: 99mTc --> 99Tc + gamma The "m" associated with the mass number indicates a metastable nuclear isomer.
