GAmma Decay
GAmma Decay
Gamma rays are not charged particles like α and β particles.
Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation with high frequency.
When atoms decay by emitting α or β particles to form a new atom, the nuclei of the new atom formed may still have too much energy to be completely stable.
This excess energy is emitted as gamma rays
(gamma ray photons have energies of ~ 1 x 10-12 J).
