This electromagnetic wave has a very high penetrating power. It is emitted during the decay of many radioactive isotopes, such as U-238 and I-131. It is a __________ wave.

Respuesta :

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "transverse wave." This electromagnetic wave has a very high penetrating power. It is emitted during the decay of many radioactive isotopes, such as U-238 and I-131. It is a transverse wave.

Answer:

Gamma radiation

Explanation:

Gamma radiation occurs when the uranium nucleus passes from an excited state of greater energy to another of less energy, which may remain unstable. Gamma radiation is a very penetrating type of electromagnetic wave, since it has a high energy per emitted photon.
