Multipolarity in the context of gamma radiation refers to the different angular momentum states associated with the emission of gamma rays from an excited nucleus. When a nucleus transitions from a higher energy state to a lower one, it can emit gamma radiation, which can be classified based on the multipolarity of the emitted radiation.
