Gamma Radiation
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light or x rays, but with a much higher energy. The gamma ray spectrum is usually defined as light having a freque...

Gamma Ray
By 1900, it had become apparent that nuclear radiation consisted of at least two parts, alpha rays and beta rays. These two types of rays were bent in opposite directions by a magnetic field...
