Question

What are gamma rays?

Answer 1

Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation having the shortest wavelength in all electromagnetic waves.They contain photons.They are emitted when the nuclei gets the highest energy

hope it helps

Answer 2

                                    Gamma rays:

• Gamma rays are “electromagnetic radiations” with the smallest wavelength and highest energy among all the electromagnetic radiations.
• In the “electromagnetic spectrum”, it falls in the region above the soft x-rays.
• The frequency of gamma rays is greater than about 1,018 cycles per second with a wavelength of fewer than 100 picometers.
• Gamma-ray production by radioactive atom involves explosive nuclear reactions like nuclear fusion, fission, alpha decay and gamma decay.
• Gamma rays are used to “treat cancer and other diseases”.
