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.
What else can I help you with?
What are the 3types of radation?
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.
Is it true that the highest energy electromagnetic waves are UV rays?
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 or false gamma rays are negitively charged?
False. Gamma rays are photons (light pieces), and have zero charge.
What is the wave length of radation?
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.
A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge. True or false?
It is false. A gamma ray has no charge, but it is an electromagnetic wave, not a particle.
What are the 3 types of radation?
alpha, beta and gamma.
What experiment will you conduct to identify the radation emitted by the uranium salt?
For gamma radiations: gamma radiometry, gamma spectrometry For fluorescence: irradiation with UV light in a dark room
What do you call the person in hospital who takes xray photographs and uses gamma radation?
radiologist i guess..?
Can a black hole suck up gamma radation?
Yes. If electromagnetic waves fall upon the event horizon, they will be "sucked up" as you say.
What are the 3types of radation?
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.
How do scientists use gamma rays to determine to composition of a planet?
True
Heat can be tranferred by?
conduction convection and radation
What is radation?
The Transfer of heat through space.
Do x-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, that's true.
Is it true or false that a gamma ray is a very high-speed particle with no charge?
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.
Is it true that the highest energy electromagnetic waves are UV rays?
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.
A gamma ray emission results in the release of energy without any apparent change in mass or nuclear charge True or false?
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.
