Gamma decay occurs when an atomic nucleus changes from a higher energy state to a lower one. When it does the "extra" energy leaves in the form of a gamma ray. That's gamma decay. The gamma ray is electromagnetic energy. That means that there is not a particle of anything involved in this event. Gamma decay is the emergence of that gamma ray from the nucleus of an atom that is going down in its energy state
What else can I help you with?
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 the symbol and charge of a gamma ray?
The symbol for a gamma ray is γ, and its charge is neutral (0). Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted by the nucleus of an atom.
What best describes a gamma ray that is given off during nuclear decay?
A gamma ray is a high-energy electromagnetic radiation released during nuclear decay. It has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, carrying a lot of energy. Gamma rays are used in various fields, including medicine, industry, and research.
In what layer of the sun are gamma ray photons produced?
Gamma ray photons are produced in the core of the Sun through the process of nuclear fusion. The core is where the temperature and pressure are high enough to drive these reactions, leading to the release of gamma ray photons.
What is the energy of a gamma ray?
The energy of a gamma ray can vary widely, ranging from a few keV to several MeV. Gamma rays are high-energy photons emitted during nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, and other high-energy processes.
What does a gamma ray give off?
Nothing - it is what it is
When a radioactive nucleus gives off a gamma ray it's atomic number increases by?
Emission of a gamma ray does not change the atomic number of the atom. A gamma ray is a photon, and has no mass. The atom's mass is reduced by the conversion of a tiny amount of mass into the energy of the gamma ray. This changes neither the number of protons nor the number of neutrons. It is done by rearranging the nucleons, changing the state of excitation of the nucleus. An example is when 99mTc emits a gamma ray and changes to 99Tc.
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 is the strongest energy wave that the Sun gives off?
gamma radiation
When was Gamma Ray - band - created?
Gamma Ray - band - was created in 1988.
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.
What radioactive emissions are not a particle Neutron Alpha Proton Beta Gamma Ray?
Gamma Ray
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Gamma ray sources of the radiation?
Various radioactive substances such as Plutonium and Uranium give off a combination of alpha, beta and gamma rays as the isotope decays.
What is the brilliant light given off by a black hole?
Its Gamma burst Ray which comes from the center of the universe.
