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 can stop a gamma ray and how does it interact with matter?
Gamma rays can be stopped by dense materials such as lead or concrete. When gamma rays interact with matter, they can either be absorbed, scattered, or pass through without any interaction. Absorption occurs when the gamma ray transfers its energy to the atoms in the material, causing ionization and potentially damaging the cells in living organisms. Scattering happens when the gamma ray changes direction after colliding with an atom, while transmission occurs when the gamma ray passes through the material without being absorbed or scattered.
What do a gamma ray gives off?
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 happens to a gamma ray after it is a emitted?
After a gamma ray is emitted, it travels at the speed of light and can penetrate matter. It can collide with atoms, ionize them, and cause damage to cells and DNA. However, gamma rays can also be absorbed by certain materials, such as lead or concrete, which can help shield against their harmful effects.
What is a gamma-ray burst, and how does it happen?
It happens when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion . A gamma ray burst is when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion. BOOM
What is the electron emitted from the atom called?
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 is the wavelength of gamma ray?
The wavelength of a gamma-ray is 10-11 metres

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.
Why do gamma radiation produce positive ions?
If a gamma ray knocks an electron out of an atom, the remaining atom (assuming it was originally neutral) will have one electron less - therefore it will have a positive charge.
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.

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.
