When gamma rays interact with the body, they can penetrate deeply and damage cells by breaking chemical bonds in molecules, leading to DNA damage and potential mutations. This can increase the risk of cancer and other health effects depending on the level of exposure. Immediate symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and burns.

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.
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.
Which of the following can pass through the human body?
Water, nutrients, and oxygen can pass through the human body.
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.
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 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.
Which ray is the strongest?
Gamma Ray
Which of the following can pass through the human body?
Water, nutrients, and oxygen can pass through the human body.
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.
Can a gamma ray burst effect the Earth?
It depends on how far the source is. Check out the site I linked below.
