The source of gamma radiation is
Correct answer: B. Inside the nucleus
- A. Outside the nucleus
- B. Inside the nucleus
- C. Electron transition
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
Gamma rays are produced in the disintegration of radioactive atomic nuclei and in the decay of certain subatomic particles.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
