A gamma ray is the shortest wavelength and highest energy electromagnetic radiation on the spectrum; it's at the very top. A gamma ray begins moving the instant it is created.â¦ And it moves at the speed of light (for the medium in which it is traveling). It continues this way until it runs into something and bounces off in an event we call scattering. The gamma ray may or may not lose energy in this scattering event.
The hindfoot is the section of the foot that begins immediately below the ankle joint and ends at the level of the Chopart joint. Which bones are in the hindfoot? The ankle bone (talus) and the heel bone (calcaneum). These are connected to each other and to the midfoot area at the Chopart joint.
There are seven species in this family. Spadefoot toads get their name from the hard, sharp, bony spade on their hind feet that they use to dig burrows. Spadefoots have round, stocky bodies; short, rounded snouts; large, bulging eyes; and smooth skin. American spadefoot toads are found in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Spadefoots also have vertical pupils in their eyes. Other toad and frog species have horizontal pupils. There is a separate family of spadefoot toads found in Europe, Asia, and Africa, Pelobatidae, that shares many of the same characteristics of American spadefoot toads. In North America, the eastern spadefoot toad is the only spadefoot found east of the Mississippi River. It is found from southern New England south to Florida and west to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The eastern spadefoot toad is 2-3 inches in length and has a stocky body and bulging eyes with vertical pupils.
