Which of the following statements is NOT true of \(\gamma\)-rays?
\(\gamma\)-rays belong to the electromagnetic spectrum
\(\gamma\)-rays do not carry an electron charge
\(\gamma\)-rays obey the inverse cube law in air
the thickness of aluminium which stops b-particule has a negligible effect on \(\gamma\)-radiation
the difference between \(\gamma\)-rays and X-rays is that \(\gamma\)-rays originate from energy charges in the nuclei of atoms, while X-rays comes from energy charges associated with the electron structure of atoms
