Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, essentially just a high-frequency form of light invisible to human eyes. Like all light, gamma rays do not carry any electrical charge.

What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?

Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.


Do gamma rays have negative charge?

No, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which has no charge.


What is the symbol and charge of a gamma ray?

The symbol for a gamma ray is γ, and its charge is neutral (0). Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted by the nucleus of an atom.


Is it true or false that a gamma ray is a very high-speed particle with no charge?

True. A gamma ray is a high-energy photon, and thus moves at the speed of light. And, like all photons, it has no charge.


A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge. True or false?

It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.


Do gamma rays have a charge?

No, a gamma ray does not have a plus two charge. A gamma ray is electromagnetic energy, and has no charge at all. It is the alpha particle, a type of particulate radiation, that has a charge of plus two. Use the links below for more information.


When a gamma ray is emitted by a necleus the nucleus then has appreciably less mass or charge?

When a gamma ray is emitted by a nucleus, neither the mass nor the charge of the nucleus changes. Gamma emission involves the release of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, but it does not alter the fundamental properties of the nucleus such as mass or charge.


Is the charge of gamma ray?

it has no charges


Which ray is not affected by magnetic and electromagnetic field?

Gamma rays are not affected by magnetic and electromagnetic fields because they are neutral in charge and do not have a deflected path in the presence of these fields.


How do the mass number and charge of a nucleus change when it emits a gamma ray?

Neither changes. A gamma ray is just energy, and the nucleus simply transitions to a lower energy state.


Is the particle with a plus 2 charge a an alpha particle b a gamma ray or c a beta ray?

a. an alpha particle


Which ray is the strongest?
