What are positive facts about gamma rays?
yes there is something positive they are used in x rays and radiation. but they are very powerful they can penetrate concrete! gamma rays can be used to kill insects and bacteria on foods. they are also used to steralize medical equipment. gamma rays also have a tissue penetrating property, making them useful in CT scans!
What radiation is not used for communication?
Gamma rays, x-rays, UV radiation and so on.
Are gamma rays associated with radioactive decay?
Yes, Gamma waves are used in X-rays, which is why doctors leave the room so the toxicating rays do not harm their skin cells.
Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
How a gm counter detect gamma rays?
Some Geiger counters can be used to detect gamma radiation. A better device for detecting gamma raysis a sodium iodide scintillation counter.
What detectors have been used in space?
Scintillation detectors have been used to detect gamma rays aboard many space missions. They have been used to observe sources of cosmic gamma rays.
What gamma ray is used for?
Medical treatments such as fighting cancer and a variety of industries gamma rays are used to detect density, levels, and thickness of certain compounds. Also death rays. JK
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 type of wave does the compton gamma ray detect?
Like the name suggest, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detects gamma rays.
What is one use of gamma rays?

What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
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.
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
