Which statement is true of gamma radiation?
A. Gamma radiation can pass through your body
B. Gamma radiation is always dangerous to the body.
C. Gamma radiation is produced when a neutron turns into a preton
D. Gamma radiation cannot go through surfaces rather, it will beures
off them.

Respuesta :

Answer: A. Gamma radiation can pass through your body

Explanation:

Let's use the Process of Elimination for this problem.

We will start off with B. Gamma radiation is always dangerous to the body.

Facts: Gamma radiation are not always dangerous to the body. Most of the time, Gamma rays and radiation will go through with little to no effect at all. So, now we know that the answer can not be B. Gamma radiation is always dangerous to the body.

Next, let's check if C. Gamma radiation is produced when a neutron turns into a proton is true.

Facts: Gamma radiation has nothing to do with neutrons turning into protons and protons turning into neutrons. Gamma rays are a type of radiation that is everywhere. Gamma rays do not make neutrons into protons. Now, we will eliminate option C. Gamma radiation is produced when a neutron turns into a proton.

Let's check if D. Gamma radiation cannot go through surfaces rather, it will beures  off them is true or not is true or not.

Facts: Gamma rays can enter your body, they do not just bounce off of your body. Gamma rays are invisible and have no weight. They are like lasers and they can enter your body. Now, we know the answer should not be D. Gamma radiation cannot go through surfaces rather, it will beures  off them is not a true statement.

Finally, let's check if A. Gamma radiation can pass through your body is true or not.

Facts: Gamma rays can pass through your body because it is like a natural laser. They can also cause ionizations that can damage tissue in your body. But most of the time, the damage to your tissue is minor. So, we know A. Gamma radiation can pass through your body is a true statement.

Therefore, we got our answer. A. Gamma radiation can pass through your body is the correct option.
