gamma radiation (electromagnetic radiation, radiation (energy), ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Highly energetic electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength emitted during radioactive decay. Gamma rays are essentially very short x-rays and penetrate matter deeply. Gamma radiation is used in radiography and as an exterminant and sterilizing agent, which kills insects, molds, bacteria, or fungi.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Elektromagnetische straling met hoge energie en een heel korte golflengte, die wordt uitgezonden bij radioactief verval. Gammastralen zijn in feite heel korte röntgenstralen en dringen diep door in materie. Gammastraling wordt gebruikt in de radiografie, en als verdelgingsmiddel en sterilisatiemiddel dat insecten, schimmels en bacteriën doodt. |
