Rays

Alpha rays are helium nuclei, two protons and two neutrons, an atomic mass number of 4, and a charge of +2. Beta rays are electrons or, in some cases, positrons, an atomic mass number of 1 / 1854, and a charge of -1, or +1 for the positron.

No, stingrays have a single barb on their tail that is used for defense. Once they have used it to sting, it must be regrown if they wish to sting again.

Yes, but not to any usable amount. The amount of energy that comes from gamma rays bursts are, by the time they reach here, quite small. The INTENSITY of the bursts may be large, but they don't last very long. Also, they come from outside our galaxy, so they have lost most of their energy by the time they get to us. And the direction they arrive from is impossible to predict, so any collector would be impossible to aim for maximum efficiency.

If a ten meter by ten meter collector was 100% efficient in converting gamma ray energy into electricity, and was able to collect enough energy from gamma rays to power a 100 watt light bulb for ten minutes; the amount of gamma ray energy hitting our Earth would kill all humanity in less than a week. In a sense, it is a blessing that there is not a lot of gamma ray energy reaching us!

No a Manta is a shark.

Southern stingrays have been around for millions of years, dating back to the Miocene epoch, which started around 23 million years ago. They are a relatively ancient species that have evolved and thrived in various marine environments over time.

If by the regual sting ray you mean the one that we see all of the time in moives. Dark blue on top and white on bottom.

Yes, gamma rays from outer space can reach the surface of the Earth. However, much of the high-energy gamma radiation is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, particularly the ozone layer, before reaching the surface.

Physical size of a gamma particle is smaller than that of alpha and beta particle. Since the particle size is smaller, the chances for a gamma particle to collide or interact with other particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) are much lower. Please do not forget that atom is made up of mostly space. And also, gamma particles are neutral. So they do not have the potential to interact with charged particles.

Muscle excitability is the ability to respond to a stimulus, such as a nerve signal or hormone, by generating an electrical impulse that leads to muscle contraction. This trait allows muscles to react to signals from the nervous or endocrine systems to produce movement.

A collection of rays is called a ray bundle.

Stingrays have been on Earth for around 150-200 million years, making them ancient creatures with a long evolutionary history. They have adapted to various marine environments and are known for their unique flat bodies and whip-like tails.

Look out the window, I'm right outside..... JK

The Law of Inclusions basically states that any rock (or mineral or fossil) that is entirely within another rock must be older than the rock containing it. The rock containing the inclusion formed around the already existing rock, thus preserving it inside.

For example, a fossil bone found in limestone is necessarily older than the limestone surrounding it.

Gamma rays have a higher frequency than visible light. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while visible light falls in the middle range of the spectrum.

Anode rays are also known as canal rays because they were discovered to be positively charged particles produced in a cathode tube when the cathode rays strike a gas at low pressure. The particles travel in the opposite direction of cathode rays and move towards the anode or positive electrode, hence the name "anode rays."

Female manta rays typically grow larger than males and have wider cephalic fins. Additionally, females have visible claspers, which are modified pelvic fins used in mating. However, these differences may not always be readily apparent, especially when observing mantas in the wild.

If we consider the bursts of high energy electromagnetic radiation from stellar or galactic sources, we encounter bursts of X-rays and gamma rays. The two are similar in that both are examples of high energy electromagnetic energy, and both can be generated by certain stars or galaxies. Additionally, both are the result of nuclear reactions in the star or at sites within the galaxy. But with gamma rays, the sources may be fewer than with X-rays, and the gamma rays are higher in energy than the X-rays.

Scintillation detectors, semiconductor detectors, and Geiger-Muller tubes are commonly used to detect gamma rays. These detectors work by measuring the ionizing radiation produced when gamma rays interact with matter.

Gamma rays and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation that have high energy and short wavelengths. They are both used in medical imaging and radiation therapy. Additionally, they both have the ability to penetrate through materials, such as tissues and bones, making them useful for various applications.

It depends on the type of the IC technology, Bipolar can withstand very high radiation doses, while the newer CMOS tend to be damaged more easily. Gamma radiation is an ionizing radiation and they possess enough energy to break atomic bonds and create electron-hole pair in silicone and silicone-dioxide materials, electrons disspate throught the lattice quickly while holes with much lower mobility remains and changes the characteristics of the device itself , like keeping the n-type ON and hence the circuits fails to perform its intended function

Ozone, on the surface of earth is a corrosive and poisonous gas but at the height of 20-50 km from the Earth i.e. in the earth's atmosphere, becomes vital to life as it absorbs almost all u.v. radiations which are harmful to living things.

No, gamma rays are not a cure for every disease. While gamma rays can be used in certain medical treatments, they are typically not a first-line or widespread therapy for most diseases. Treatment options depend on the specific disease and should be determined through consultation with healthcare professionals.

Yes, placing an X-ray or gamma ray telescope on a mountain top can reduce atmospheric interference and provide clearer observations due to the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes. This can improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the telescope in detecting these high-energy emissions from space.
