Summary Of: Gamma ray

When a gamma ray passes through matter... ray and gamma ray photons with energies below 50 keV... down to a lower level by emitting a gamma ray in much the same way that an atomic electron can jump to a lower level... nucleus is made and the exact conditions for gamma ray absorption through resonance can be attained... gamma ray detectors are starting to be used as part of the...
