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 ;)
Does ultra violet rays cause cancer?
Yes, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, particularly from the sun or indoor tanning devices, can increase the risk of developing skin cancer. UV rays damage the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations that can lead to the development of cancer over time. It is important to protect the skin from excessive UV exposure by wearing protective clothing, using sunscreen, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
Why do UV rays only cause sunburn while X-rays and Gamma rays cause cancer?
But some UV rays do cause cancer.
What's Skin cancer?
ultra-violet rays cause skin cancerMost times, it is caused by excessive sun exposure.
What kind of cancer does UV rays cause?
it can cause skin cancer
What are the effects of sun cancer?
There is no such thing as sun cancer. Cancer caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays is skin cancer.
What type of electromagnetic wave is considered harmful to humans?
These are ultraviolet rays, x-rays and gamma rays.
Why it is not advisable to have several x-rays and CT scan exposure in a relatively short period?
because RADIATION can come from X-rays & CT scan, which can cause cancer, & mutations in the later generation
How can electromagnetic energy be harmful?
Many parts of the EM spectrum are harmful. Ultraviolet can cause skin cancer, microwaves can cause heating of body mass, X-rays and gamma rays cause ionisation of body mass and too much exposure will cause cancer or acute damage to the blood cells which will cause rapid death. X-rays are a vital medical tool, but must be carefully used to avoid damage. If you have had hospital X-ray treatment you will have seen that the radiographers go behind a screen during exposure, because they are doing it all day and woulg get too much exposure otherwise
Are gamma rays harmful to humans and what are the potential risks associated with exposure to them?
Yes, gamma rays are harmful to humans as they are a form of ionizing radiation. Exposure to gamma rays can cause damage to cells and DNA, leading to an increased risk of cancer, radiation sickness, and other health problems. It is important to limit exposure to gamma rays through proper shielding and safety measures.
What type of wave can cause skin cancer and promotes vitamin D production?
The waves you seek are ultra violet waves.
Are x rays safe for young children?
There is a risk of getting radiation exposure from x rays. This exposure can increase the risk of gene mutations and cancer. Overall, x rays are safe for young children, but should avoid over exposure and unnecessary exposure when able.
