Question

Two dissimilarities between x- ray and gamma ray... Please tell...​

Answer 1

Answer:

The key difference between gamma rays and X-rays is how they are produced. Other than that is their penetration capacity and energy(gamma rays are waayy more dangerous!!)

Explanation:

Gamma rays originate from the settling process of an excited nucleus of a radionuclide after it undergoes radioactive decay whereas X-rays are produced when electrons strike a target or when electrons rearrange within an atom. Gamma rays can penetrate easier because they have a shorter wavelength(the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave). Gamma rays are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as neutron stars and pulsars, supernova explosions, and regions around black holes. X-rays are produced X-rays are produced when the electrons are suddenly decelerated upon collision with the metal target; these x-rays are commonly called brehmsstrahlung or "braking radiation". If the bombarding electrons have sufficient energy, they can knock an electron out of an inner shell of the target metal atoms.

There is no consensus on how to precisely differentiate between X-rays and gamma rays. However, they are often differentiated using their origin. In this sense, the main difference between X-rays and gamma rays is that gamma rays are produced during nuclear decay by nuclei of atoms, whereas X-rays are produced by electrons.
