Case: Read the passage and answer the following questions The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes – the visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and the radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. The other types of EM radiation that make up the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet rays, X- rays and gamma rays. |
| Which of the following is the best way to produce gamma rays? |
Acceleration of charged particles The vibration of atoms and molecules Radioactive decay of nucleus Klystron valve |
| Radioactive decay of nucleus |
| Gamma rays are produced in the disintegration of radioactive atomic nuclei and in the decay of certain subatomic particles because the order of energies that they carry is only obtained through this method. |
