Hi, my question is that would it be possible to reduce the energy and frequency of gamma rays to visible light then maintain it at that level?
Photons change frequency or are absorbed when they interact with matter.ryanuser said:Thanks for your response, even though you may have not understood my question you have answered what I needed to know. Furthermore what are those process?

A gamma ray is a type of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a form of high-energy photon that is emitted from the nucleus of an atom.
The energy of a gamma ray can be reduced through a process called attenuation, which is the gradual decrease in intensity of the radiation as it passes through a medium. This can occur through interactions with other particles or through the emission of lower energy photons.
The main factors that affect energy reduction in gamma rays include the material the radiation is passing through, the thickness of the material, and the energy of the gamma ray itself. Other factors such as temperature and pressure can also play a role.
Gamma ray energy reduction is used in a variety of fields, including medical imaging, industrial radiography, and radiation therapy for cancer treatment. It is also used in research and development for materials testing and studying the properties of matter.
The amount of energy reduction in gamma rays can be measured using a device called a Geiger counter, which detects and counts the number of radioactive particles passing through it. Other methods include using a scintillation detector or a spectrometer to measure the energy of the gamma rays.
