The essential distinction between X - rays and γ - rays is that: |
γ - rays have smaller wavelength than X - rays γ - rays emanate from nucleus while X - rays emanate from outer part of the atom γ - rays have greater ionising power than X - rays γ - rays are more penetrating than X - rays |
γ - rays emanate from nucleus while X - rays emanate from outer part of the atom |
The wavelength of the γ - rays is shorter. However, the main distinguishing feature is the nature of emission. |
