Question

Give the properties of gamma radiations and the representation of gamma emission.


ANSWER THE QUESTION ONLY IF YOU KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gamma rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation, obtained by the decay of an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays are more penetrating, in matter, and can damage living cells to a great extent. Gamma rays are used in medicine (radiotherapy), industry (sterilization and disinfection) and the nuclear industry.

Other sources of gamma-rays are alpha decay and gamma decay. ... This process can leave the nucleus with excess energy, which is emitted in the form of a gamma-ray. Gamma decay occurs when there is too much energy in the nucleus of an atom, causing it to emit a gamma-ray without changing its charge or mass composition.

Answer 2

Answer:

Properties -

• It is an energetic photon or light wave.
• It is a wave unlike alpha and beta particles
• Highest penetrating energy
• The ionising power of Gamma-radiations is very low.
• Gamma radiations affect a photographic plate
• Gamma radiations cause fluorescence when they strike a fluorescent material.
