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.
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
The symbol for gamma rays is the Greek letter γ (gamma). It is often used in physics and other scientific fields to represent gamma radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelengths.
it has no charges
Gamma rays are not affected by magnetic and electromagnetic fields because they are neutral in charge and do not have a deflected path in the presence of these fields.
the one that looks like a Y
Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.
True. A gamma ray is a high-energy photon, and thus moves at the speed of light. And, like all photons, it has no charge.
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
No, a gamma ray does not have a plus two charge. A gamma ray is electromagnetic energy, and has no charge at all. It is the alpha particle, a type of particulate radiation, that has a charge of plus two. Use the links below for more information.
When a gamma ray is emitted by a nucleus, neither the mass nor the charge of the nucleus changes. Gamma emission involves the release of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, but it does not alter the fundamental properties of the nucleus such as mass or charge.
The symbol for gamma rays is the Greek letter γ (gamma). It is often used in physics and other scientific fields to represent gamma radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelengths.
it has no charges
Neither changes. A gamma ray is just energy, and the nucleus simply transitions to a lower energy state.
Gamma rays are not affected by magnetic and electromagnetic fields because they are neutral in charge and do not have a deflected path in the presence of these fields.
the one that looks like a Y
The gamma particle's symbol is the lowercase Greek gamma, the velar, which looks like a lower case western v, but the base has a narrow loop, and the left top has a curved serif. In print, it looks like a Y, shifted down as if it were a lower case letter with a descender. We can't represent it here on Answers.com, but the Related Link below will take you to WikiPedia where you can see a representation of it. The charge of a gamma particle is that of the photon, which is zero.
i doubt you mean y the symbol for gamma looks like a y though so you probably mean gamma rays.
