Gamma radiation has a very short wavelength. This is dangerous to us soft-tissued mammals because our body's natural defenses (like our skin) are unable to keep the radiation out. Gamma radiation has been linked to cancer under the assumption that our cells, once exposed, can be mutated into a cancerous cell.
What else can I help you with?
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or xrays?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas X-rays have a lower frequency than gamma rays.
Does x-rays or gamma rays have lower energy?
X-rays have lower energy than gamma rays. Gamma rays are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, while x-rays have lower energy and shorter wavelengths than gamma rays.
What has a lower frequency x rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays.
Does gamma ray have negative charge?
Gamma rays do not have a charge because they are electromagnetic radiation, which consists of photons that are neutral particles with no electric charge. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves emitted during radioactive decay or in nuclear reactions.
Do gamma rays have negative charge?
No, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which has no charge.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Can X rays have higher energies than gamma rays?
Gamma rays have energies higher than that of X-rays. It is true that there is some overlap of the upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum, but the X-ray spectrum falls below that of the gamma ray spectrum. For these reasons, if someone asks if X-rays can have higher energies than gamma rays, the answer would be in the negative.
Negative uses about gamma rays?
It's been known to make people hulk out
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Are there problems with gamma rays?
no gamma rays are the best
What is x rays and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
Are gamma rays negative?
No. The gauge particles for electromagnetic radiation, photons, do not carry an electronic charge.
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or xrays?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas X-rays have a lower frequency than gamma rays.
What are gamma rays crest?
gamma rays are Vincent is weird
How do the electric charges of alpha beta and gamma rays differ?
Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves or gamma rays?
Gamma rays have shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves. This means that microwaves have longer wavelengths than gamma rays.
