Gamma rays
, What are gamma rays?
Short wavelength electromagnetic waves which are released from t
nucleus during radioactive decay.
They are able to penetrate far into materials without being stopped
They are weakly ionising.
They have the smallest wavelength in the EM spectrum but the hig
frequency.
They transfer a lot of energy.
They are a type of ionising radiation.
