Is there anything after gamma rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum is commonly referred to as consisting of; radio-waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays – of increasing frequency from left to right.
Does the sun produce gamma?
Physicists do not think the sun emits any gamma rays from within. (Nuclear fusions in its core do produce them, but they scatter and downgrade to lower-energy light before leaving the sun.) And the signal becomes up to 20 times stronger than predicted for gamma rays with the highest frequencies.
Can gamma rays turn you into the Hulk?
Different versions of The Hulk give us different reasons for his transformation. In all of them, a high dose of gamma rays are involved. The gamma rays mutate Bruce Banner’s DNA and cause him to transform into The Hulk whenever he’s angry.
Can you protect yourself from gamma rays?
Shielding: Barriers of lead, concrete, or water provide protection from penetrating gamma rays. Gamma rays can pass completely through the human body; as they pass through, they can cause damage to tissue and DNA.
Where do gamma rays come from in the universe?
sources of gamma rays Gamma rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. They 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.
What is the difference between gamma rays and radio waves?
It is all just names. Gamma rays are high energy, short wavelength radio waves aka photons. Radio waves are just lower energy, long wavelength photons. It is a bit like asking what lies beyond the 12 inch and 1 inch ends of a ruler.
Can gamma rays be stopped by anything?
Yes. Gamma rays interact primarily with electrons, so anything with electrons will stop the gamma rays. The more electrons, the better it will stop gamma rays.
What is the source of gamma waves?
SOURCES OF GAMMA RAYS. They 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. On Earth, gamma waves are generated by nuclear explosions, lightning, and the less dramatic activity of radioactive decay.
