Question 18

The emission of gamma rays results in the loss of energy in the nucleus of atoms.

True

False

Ig it's true. The emission of gramma rays results in the loss of energy.

The emission of gamma rays results in the loss of energy in the nucleus of atoms is True.

Answer: True

Explanation:

The nucleus of the atom transforms to lower energy state and releases gamma rays which is the loss of energy by the nucleus. Gamma rays have high energy and have high ionizing power.

During the gamma decay, the structure or composition of the atom does not change rather it only changes the energy level of the atom unlike alpha and beta decay because gamma rays do not have its own mass and charge.
