Understanding Gamma Decay
Gamma decay is unique as it involves no change in nucleons; instead, the nucleus transitions from a higher to a lower energy state. This process emits high-energy photons, known as gamma radiation, which are fundamentally similar to visible light but at much higher frequencies. Unlike alpha and beta decay, there are no particles emitted, making gamma decay an intriguing phenomenon in nuclear physics.In this clip
