The body radiates energy through thermal conduction through the skin to the air, clothes, etc, around the body. A small amount of energy would also be radiated as electromagnetic radiation with a peak wavelength directly related to the Kelvin temperature of the skin. Also, very small amounts of other types of radiation are emitted due to naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in the body (i.e. Carbon-14).

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.


How does HDTV gamma ray output effect human body with metal reconstuction over bones?

Gamma rays come from supernovae in space, not TV's. You are probably confused with display gamma, which is the relationship between input voltage and brightness.


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 is Compton effect?

The increase in wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, especially of an x-ray or a gamma-ray photon, scattered by an electron.

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.


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.


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!
