What else can I help you with?
Which type of radiation does not cause transmutations?
Visible light does not cause transmutations as it does not have enough energy to induce changes in atomic nuclei.
What can stop a gamma ray and how does it interact with matter?
Gamma rays can be stopped by dense materials such as lead or concrete. When gamma rays interact with matter, they can either be absorbed, scattered, or pass through without any interaction. Absorption occurs when the gamma ray transfers its energy to the atoms in the material, causing ionization and potentially damaging the cells in living organisms. Scattering happens when the gamma ray changes direction after colliding with an atom, while transmission occurs when the gamma ray passes through the material without being absorbed or scattered.
Which wave can cause damaging chemical changes in cells?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause damaging chemical changes in cells by inducing mutations in DNA, which can lead to skin damage or cancer. UV radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that has enough energy to break chemical bonds in molecules within the skin cells.
What happens to a gamma ray after it is a emitted?
After a gamma ray is emitted, it travels at the speed of light and can penetrate matter. It can collide with atoms, ionize them, and cause damage to cells and DNA. However, gamma rays can also be absorbed by certain materials, such as lead or concrete, which can help shield against their harmful effects.
What is the effect of gamma rays on steel?
Gamma rays can damage the crystal lattice structure of steel, leading to changes in its properties such as strength and ductility. Prolonged exposure to gamma rays can cause steel to become brittle and more susceptible to failure under stress. Thus, it is important to limit the exposure of steel to gamma rays to maintain its structural integrity.

Can gamma rays be stopped and how?
It seems that any matter will stop part of the gamma rays; to stop most of the gamma rays from passing, you would need a fairly thick layer of matter. The thickness required to block half of the gamma rays depends on the energy of the gamma rays. Just about any matter will do. For more details, check the Wikipedia article "Gamma ray", section "Shielding".

What energy contains no matter?
Gamma rays
What is a gamma ray camera?
Gamma camera is used to give an image of the body, based on the gamma rays coming from radionuclide inside the body.

Does gamma rays have matter?
NO, they are just electromagnetic waves
Do gamma rays really turn you into The Hulk?
Yes, however one of the prerequisites is that your name must be Bruce Banner. In Addition: No, gamma rays do not turn people into "The Hulk", but gamma rays can cause cancer. Various doses of gamma rays can cause changes to the blood, nausea, hair loss, hemorrhaging, and death. However, gamma rays are also useful for irradiation, sterilizing medical equipment, treating some types of cancer, and in nuclear medicine.
Can gamma rays cause cancer?
Yes Gamma Rays can cause cancer, even a small exposure to Gamma ray can cause the risk of cancer, X-Rays and Visible light can cause cancer but need huge amounts of it exposed to the body, Gamma is used in Nuclear bombs because of all the energy it has, so if you're near a Nuclear bomb when it sets off, Your most likely to catch cancer ;)
What does gamma cause?
Gamma rays, if strong enough, can cause cancer if you are around them too much. There are methods to stop it, though, but gamma rays are hard to prevent. They can be really unhealthy to the human body.
