Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?

Electrons are not directly involved in the creation of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation is made of electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus), and gamma radiation is a high-energy electromagnetic radiation.

What is gamma cup?

A gamma cup is a radiation shield used in nuclear facilities to contain radioactive materials and prevent radiation leaks. It is typically made of a dense material such as lead or steel to block harmful radiation.


What is another name for gamma radiation?

Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength and therefore high frequency and high energy per photon. Gamma radiation is also known as gamma rays.


Is gamma radiation effected by a magnetic field?

Nothing. The gamma ray is not deflected by a magnetic field, which demonstrates that unlike the alpha and beta rays, the gamma is not a stream of charged particles, but is electromagnetic radiation.


What is gamma radiaton made up of?

Gamma Radiation is a wave of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, and is created by sub-atomic activity - such as nuclear fission and fusion. Gamma is alos an ionizing form of radiation, along with UV and X-rays, so can cause serious bodily harm, or over long periods of time death, if directly exposed e.g. if you touch a gamma radiation source.


Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?

Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.


Is gamma radiation made from uncharged particles?

No, gamma radiation is made of photons, which are non-charged particles with no mass. They have high energy and are produced from the decay of unstable atomic nuclei or during nuclear reactions.

Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?

No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.


Are there man-made sources of gamma rays radiation?

Yes, man-made sources of gamma ray radiation include nuclear power plants, certain medical imaging procedures like gamma cameras and radiation therapy machines, as well as industrial applications such as sterilization techniques and certain types of scientific research equipment.
