How can gamma rays cause changes deep inside matter?
Atoms when Gamma rays go through them lose electrons, and Gamma rays also break bonds between atoms, these changes can damage matter.
A wave that does not need a medium but can go through matter?
Gamma rays can both pass through matter and travel in a vacuum.
Do gamma rays cause a loss of vision?
Like other dangerous things going in a person's eyes, gamma rays can also cause serious damage to a person's eyes. The gamma rays can go through the eye tissue and mess up the cataracts and other sensitive parts in the back of a person's eye.
What are Gamma rays and neutrons used for?
Go on WIkipedia.
Do gamma rays carry the least amount of energy of the EM waves?
No, the most. Remember, as you go from radio waves to gamma rays across the spectrum, the frequency and energy increases.

Does gamma go through paper and aluminium?
like a chicken
Can UV rays go through wax paper?
yes, but it drastically reduces them
Why U.V. rays does not go through metals?
The short answer is that the photons are not energetic enough. Photons of x-rays and gamma rays are energetic enough to pass through metal.
Can x rays go through paper?
Yes.
A wave that does not need a medium but can go through matter?
Gamma rays can both pass through matter and travel in a vacuum.
What can gamma rays not travel through?
Gamma rays can pretty much travel through anything because of their speed,and intense hotness.There is only 1 thing in the universe that a gamma ray cannot go through, and that is a black hole.Black holes have such an amazing gravitational pull that the black hole would just suck up the light.

What are gamma and x-rays?
Gamma and x-rays are two types of rays on the electro magnetic spectrum. The amount of energy used by the rays increases as you go up the electro magnetic spectrum. The weakest of the rays is a radio wave and the strongest is the gamma which will penetrate lead.

Can gamma rays make sun burns?
no they cant because gamma rays are waves and are so powerful they can simply go right through you without causing you to much harm. beta can be fatal and so can alpha if given in a large quantity inside someone.

No, the most. Remember, as you go from radio waves to gamma rays across the spectrum, the frequency and energy increases.
