text: This phenomenon can be triggered by an electron, a positron, or a photon, the triggering mechanism being unimportant as long as the starting energy is high.
text: X-rays and gamma rays are both types of high energy (high frequency) electromagnetic radiation.
text: A beta (β) particle is a high energy, high speed particle.
text: Gamma rays have very short wavelengths and hence very high energy.
text: Since gamma rays have very high energies, these are capable of breaking bonds of several molecules thus creating a biological hazard.
text: So a gamma ray is radiation that is very high energy,
text: Gamma rays are simply photons that have extremely high energies which are highly ionizing.
text: Gamma rays can at times be harmful due to the fact that they are generally very high energy and therefore penetrate matter very easily.
text: They have high energies (greater than 104 eV per photon) and extremely short wavelengths (less than 10-14 m).
text: Because of their high energies and penetration ability, gamma rays are extremely hazardous biologically —
