Was using the hydrogen bombs on japan necessary?
They never used hydrogen bombs in Japan. They used nuclear bombs which produces gamma rays not the lethal doses of x-rays produced by the hydrogen bomb.
What is nuclear fuison used for?
Killing people. A uranium atoms contains gamma radiation, within the nucleus. Gamma rays can penetrate anything, except lead, gamma rays also kill cells. Atomic Nuclear Bombs split the atomic nucleus open.
What is gamme rays used for?
Medicine Gamma rays are used in medicine to kill and treat certain types of cancers and tumors. Gamma rays passing through tissue of the body produce ionization in tissue. Gamma rays can harm the cells in our body. The rays can also detect brain and cardiovascular abnormalities. Industry Gamma rays can be used to examine metallic castings or welds in oil pipelines for weak points. The rays pass through the metal and darken a photographic film at places opposite the weak points. In industry, gamma rays are used for detecting internal defects in metal castings and in welded structures. Gamma rays are used to kill pesticides and bugs in food. Gamma rays are also used in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs. Consumer goods Gamma rays are often used in the food industry. The radioisotopes preserve foods. Although the rays never come in contact with food, beta radiation kills various organisms, such as bacteria, yeast, and insects. Science Gamma rays can be used to detect beryllium. They also played a very important role in the development of the atom bomb.
What are the sources of X rays and gamma rays?
X rays and gamma rays are both in the electromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays can come from nuclear bombs (which can pass through metals and concrete). X rays are used in many places, in the hospital, the air port, and many more, I don't really know what their source is I'll have to check in my science encyclopedia.
Can gamma rays cause cancer?
Yes Gamma Rays can cause cancer, even a small exposure to Gamma ray can cause the risk of cancer, X-Rays and Visible light can cause cancer but need huge amounts of it exposed to the body, Gamma is used in Nuclear bombs because of all the energy it has, so if you're near a Nuclear bomb when it sets off, Your most likely to catch cancer ;)
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
What is one use of gamma rays?
One use of gamma rays is in cancer treatment, where they can be directed at cancer cells to destroy them.
What waves are used for medical imaging?
X-rays witch is just under the wavelength of gamma rays. gamma rays are deadly though
Why are only gamma rays used to sterilise equipment and not alpha?
Because gamma rays have the most electromagnetic energy.
What haves gamma rays been used for?
Gamma rays are used to kill cancerous cells and sometimes for a better view on peoples organs.
Gamma rays?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power. But they have low kinetic power and ionizing power.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
