Question

state any four properties of (i) gamma rays (ii) x–rays​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate

Explanation:

here is your answer

(i) properties of gamma rays :

(1) They are highest penetrating power and the least ionizing power among all electromagnetic radiations.

(2) They are the highest energy em wave in the range keV to GeV.

(3) They affect photographic plates and produce fluroscence.

(4) They can break DNA molecules and kill cells of living tissues.

(5) They cause photoelectric effect Compton scattering. High energy y-rays (gamma rays) in the presence of heavy nucleus can pair production.

(ii) properties of x-rays:

(1) They are high energy em waves in the range of a few hundred electron volts to MeV.

(2) Long wavelength or soft X-rays have low penetrating power and can only pass through soft tissue of flesh. short wavelength or hard x-rays

(3) They ionize the gases through which they pass.

(4) They affect photographic plates and produce fluroscence.

(5) They cause photoelectric effect.
