Question
Write a short note on Gamma rays.
✓
Answer
→Frequency of the Gamma rays is the highest in the electro magnetic spectrum.
→Wave length range from 10-10 m to less than 10-14 m.
→This high frequency radiation is produced in nuclear reactions and also emitted by radio active nuclei.
→They are used in medicine to destroy cancer cells.
