Gamma rays can be harmful to living organisms as they are a form of ionizing radiation that can damage cells and DNA, potentially leading to mutations, cancer, and other health problems. High doses of gamma rays can be lethal to humans and other organisms by disrupting vital biological processes. Protection measures, such as shielding and limiting exposure, are important in minimizing the harmful effects of gamma radiation on life.
What else can I help you with?
Does gamma rays per second effect physical half-life?
No, the rate at which gamma rays are emitted does not affect the physical half-life of a radioactive material. The physical half-life is a characteristic property of the specific radioisotope and remains constant regardless of the emission rate of gamma rays.
What effect does losing a gamma ray have on the nucleus?
Losing a gamma ray does not change the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus, so the nucleus remains the same element. However, the nucleus may be left in an excited state after emitting a gamma ray, and it typically returns to its ground state quickly by emitting the gamma ray.
What happens when an atom loses a gamma ray?
When an atom loses a gamma ray, it transitions to a lower energy state by releasing a high-energy photon. This process is known as gamma decay and the atom becomes more stable after losing the energy in the form of gamma radiation.
Why Mossbauer effect is limited to low energy gamma rays?
The Mössbauer effect is limited to low-energy gamma rays because higher energy gamma rays would cause the whole crystal lattice to recoil, preventing the resonant absorption of the gamma ray by the nucleus. Low-energy gamma rays are needed to allow the nucleus to absorb the gamma ray without causing significant lattice vibration.
Does thickness has effect on absorption of gamma ray by lead?
Yes, the thickness of lead does have an effect on the absorption of gamma rays. A thicker layer of lead will be more effective at absorbing gamma rays compared to a thinner layer. This is because gamma rays interact with matter through processes like photoelectric absorption and Compton scattering, which are more likely to occur with a greater thickness of lead material.
Does gamma rays per second effect physical half-life?
No, the rate at which gamma rays are emitted does not affect the physical half-life of a radioactive material. The physical half-life is a characteristic property of the specific radioisotope and remains constant regardless of the emission rate of gamma rays.

What is Compton effect?
The increase in wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, especially of an x-ray or a gamma-ray photon, scattered by an electron.
Which ray is the strongest?
Gamma Ray
Why do we use gamma ray machine?
We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.
What happens when an atom loses a gamma ray?
When an atom loses a gamma ray, it transitions to a lower energy state by releasing a high-energy photon. This process is known as gamma decay and the atom becomes more stable after losing the energy in the form of gamma radiation.
Can a gamma ray burst effect the Earth?
It depends on how far the source is. Check out the site I linked below.

When was Gamma Ray - band - created?
Gamma Ray - band - was created in 1988.
Is gamma ray used in lasers?
No gamma rays can't effect solid objects, laser stands for light amplification of stimulated edition of radiation. Hope that helps!
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.
What type of ray is gamma ray commonly known as?
well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
