Gamma radiation is a high-energy form of ionizing radiation that can penetrate deeply into the human body and cause damage to cells. It is often emitted during radioactive decay of certain isotopes and can be harmful to living organisms if exposure is excessive or prolonged. Protective measures, such as shielding and distance, are important in limiting exposure to gamma radiation.
The three main types of radiation are alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei, beta radiation involves electrons or positrons, and gamma radiation is electromagnetic radiation. Each type has different properties and levels of penetration.
No, the highest energy electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies. UV rays have shorter wavelengths than visible light but lower energy than gamma rays.
False. Gamma rays are photons (light pieces), and have zero charge.
The wavelength of radiation varies depending on the type of radiation. For example, visible light has wavelengths between 400-700 nanometers, while gamma rays can have wavelengths smaller than 0.01 nanometers. Each type of radiation falls within a specific range of wavelengths.
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
alpha, beta and gamma.
For gamma radiations: gamma radiometry, gamma spectrometry For fluorescence: irradiation with UV light in a dark room
radiologist i guess..?
Yes. If electromagnetic waves fall upon the event horizon, they will be "sucked up" as you say.

True
conduction convection and radation
The Transfer of heat through space.
Yes, that's true.
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.
No, the highest energy electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies. UV rays have shorter wavelengths than visible light but lower energy than gamma rays.
True. Gamma ray emission involves the release of high-energy photons from the atomic nucleus without changing the mass or nuclear charge of the emitting atom.
