- How long can 22 MeV gamma rays travel through air before they turns harmless
Both alpha and beta radiations can only travel short distances through air as they're not as penetrating as gamma radiations. How long gamma radiations with 22 MeV energy can travel in air? Is it meters, kilometers, miles, etc.
Is there a difference between a lower energy gamma ray and a higher energy gamma ray when it comes to the maximum distance covered in air?
