They're called microwaves. they aren't inherently harmful, they're just another wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, like light or radio.

Why do we use gamma ray machine?

We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.


How do photochromatic lenses work?

Photochromatic lenses are commonly called transition lenses. The lens is clear, but when exposed to the sun's UV rays, they will darken like sunglasses.


How radiation was discovered?

In 1896 Henri Becquerel was using naturally fluorescent minerals to study the properties of x-rays, which had been discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen. He exposed potassium uranyl sulfate to sunlight and then placed it on photographic plates wrapped in black paper, believing that the uranium absorbed the sun's energy and then emitted it as x-rays. This hypothesis was disproved on the 26th-27th of February, when his experiment "failed" because it was overcast in Paris. For some reason, Becquerel decided to develop his photographic plates anyway. To his surprise, the images were strong and clear, proving that the uranium emitted radiation without an external source of energy such as the sun. Becquerel had discovered radioactivity. Becquerel showed that the radiation he discovered could not be x-rays. X-rays are neutral and cannot be bent in a magnetic field. The new radiation was bent by the magnetic field so that the radiation must be charged and different than x-rays. When different radioactive substances were put in the magnetic field, they deflected in different directions or not at all, showing that there were three classes of radioactivity: negative, positive, and electrically neutral So basically radiation was discovered by accident


Does a wireless keyboard use ultraviolet light waves to communicate with tehe computer?

The wireless keyboard or mouse uses infrared technology rather than ultraviolet rays to communicate with the computer, and as such there is no risk of radiation exposure with this.


What is NRL C5?

NRL: stand for National Radiation Laboratory. It is a specialist business unit within the New Zealand Ministry of Health. C5: Code of safe practice for the use of x-rays in medical diagnosis

Why gamma rays harmful to human not microwaves?

-- Gamma rays are harmful to living organisms because each gamma-ray photon carries relatively high energy, and is capable of damaging cells. -- You should be suspicious of whoever told you that microwave radiation is not harmful to humans. Have you ever seen what 1,200 watts of RF at 2.5 GHz can do to a hot dog in the 'microwave' oven ?


Are gamma rays best for cell phone transmission?

No. Gamma rays are extremly energetic rays; too difficult to control. X-Rays, which are weaker than gamma rays, have certain uses in technology, but hardly for communications.


How does the ozone function?

Ozone protects us from the harmful UV rays. UV rays are harmful and fatal rays.


Which part of he atmosphere screens out the harmful radiation from the sun?

Ozone layer screen out the harmful rays. These rays are UV rays.


Type of radiant energy is invisible to humans?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a type of radiant energy that is invisible to humans. UV rays can be harmful to skin and eyes, which is why sunscreen and protective eyewear are recommended when exposed to sunlight.


How are uv rays are harmful?

UV rays are very harmful. It is because of the high frequency that they carry.


Which form of oxygen protects the earth from the harmful rays of the sun?

The triatomic form of oxygen that is ozone protects us from the harmful rays of the sun. These rays are called ultraviolet rays and are very harmful for living organisms.


What type of rays can you make and how?

Well, a flashlight omits ultraviolet rays. A microwave omits microwave ray and visible light with any source of light
