Definitions of gamma ray
Definition that contains gamma ray
  • compton United States physicist noted for research on x-rays and gamma rays and nuclear energy; his observation that X-rays behave like miniature bowling balls in their interactions with electrons provided evidence for the quantal nature of light (1892-1962)
  • radiogram a photographic image produced on a radiosensitive surface by radiation other than visible light (especially by X-rays or gamma rays)
  • radiograph a photographic image produced on a radiosensitive surface by radiation other than visible light (especially by X-rays or gamma rays)
  • skiagraph a photographic image produced on a radiosensitive surface by radiation other than visible light (especially by X-rays or gamma rays)
  • nuclear resonance the resonance absorption of a gamma ray by a nucleus identical to the nucleus that emitted the gamma ray
