Different between x Ray's and y Ray's?
Answers
Answer:
There are a few more differences between X-rays and Gamma Rays. The key difference is the source: x-rays are emitted by the electrons outside the nucleus, and gamma rays are emitted by the excited nucleus itself. ... Gamma-ray photons have the highest energy in the EMR spectrum and their waves have the shortest wavelength.
Answer:
X-rays and Y-rays are both electromagnetic radiation distinguished mainly by their origin. X-rays are photons emitted from the electron shells surrounding the atomic nucleus or during the slowing down of electron or other charged particles. The term Y-rays is usually applied to radiation originating from the atomic nucleus, and from particle annihilation. The energy ranges of X-rays and Y-rays overlap considerably with X-rays having energies upwards from a few of eV (the shortest ultraviolet wavelength), and Y-rays energies extending up to few tens of MeV.
