Question

A gamma ray emission results in the release of energy without any apparent change in mass or nuclear charge.

True
False

Answer 1

True.

A gamma-ray emission results in the release of energy without any apparent change in mass or nuclear charge.

Answer 2

A gamma ray by definition, has a zero charge and a zero mass.

So when it is released it does not change the mass or nuclear charge of the parent material.

But it does involve the release of energy like all radioactive processes.

So the statement is True.
