Gamma decay is a radioactive decay in which there is no measurable change in mass and the element remains the same.

<h3>What happens in gamma decay?</h3>

In gamma decay, the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus does not change, so the product of decay remain the same element..

Note that mass number is equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons and so if there is no change, the mass of the element remains the same.

Thus, gamma decay is a radioactive decay in which there is no measurable change in mass and the element remains the same.

This thermogram shows a person using a computer. Complete the sentence to describe the flow of thermal energy between the person
sergejj [24]
<h2>Answer : The thermal energy will flow from the computer to the person.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

Usually computer are such devices which converts electrical energy into thermal energy and then it gets transferred to the person. The energy flows from the higher amount to lower amount. In this case, computer is producing higher thermal energy than the person that's the reason for the flow of energy from computer to the person.
