A gamma ray emission results in the release of energy without any apparent change in mass or nuclear charge. Is this true or false?

Question

unklerhaukus · Answer

a gamma ray is energy right?,

anonymous · Answer

Yes I think so

unklerhaukus · Answer

The   E=mc^2
equation show that the energy has an equivalent mass associated with it,

anonymous · Answer

So it wouldn't change the mass, right?
