Gamma rays are used in medical imaging techniques like gamma-ray spectroscopy and positron emission tomography (PET) to detect diseases and monitor the body's functions. They are also used in cancer treatment through radiation therapy to target and destroy cancerous cells. In industrial applications, gamma rays are used to inspect the integrity of materials like pipelines and welds.

How do you protect ourselves from gamma rays?
To protect ourselves from gamma rays, we can use thick and dense materials such as lead or concrete as shielding. Minimizing exposure time and increasing distance from gamma ray sources are also effective ways to reduce exposure. Additionally, wearing protective clothing made of radiation-resistant materials can help to lower the risk of exposure.
In what ways are electromagnetic waves different?
Electromagnetic waves differ in terms of frequency, wavelength, and energy. They also vary in their properties such as speed, polarization, and how they interact with matter. Each type of electromagnetic wave, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, has unique characteristics.
The order of the electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum is typically ordered from longest to shortest wavelengths: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves span a range of frequencies and energies, with each portion of the spectrum serving different purposes and interacting with matter in unique ways.
What are the different types of radiation?
There are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, X-rays, radio frequecy and neutron radiation. Only Gamma radiation and X-rays are actually energy. Alpha particles - helium nuclei produced by radioactive decay, they are easily blocked, but harmful if ingested, inhaled, or allowed into the body through a wound Beta particles - electrons and positrons given off during decay or fission, they can be stopped by protective clothing and a mask; These can damage skin and produce a burn similar to a thermal burn Gamma radiation and X-rays - gamma rays are high-energy photons emitted during a fission and fusion and by fallout; like x-rays, which are distinguished by their source (electrons), gamma rays can result in whole-body radiation exposure Neutrons (neutron radiation) - large nuclear particles that have the potential to ionize multiple cells; they are emitted in large numbers during a fission or fusion reaction, and can create dangerously radioactive isotopes from common elements; they do not present a direct fallout hazard
Which is the best protection against gamma rays?
There are three primay ways to limit exposure to radiation, and they are time, distance, and shielding. By decreasing the time you are exposed, you limit exposure. By increasing the distance between you and the source, you limit exposure. And by placing shielding between you and the source you limit exposure.
What studies gamma rays when it is in orbit?
As far as NASA satellites, both SWIFT and GLAST "study gamma rays", just in different ways
Why nucleus is a source of eletromagnetic radiation?
When the nucleus is unstable, one of the ways to reach stability is to emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays.
Is xenon helpful?
In some ways, yes.

What are some ways bacteria is helpful?
It's in yogurt
Are gamma rays and x rays the same?
The short answer is "No". The long answer is as follows: "Light is a form of radiation, and defined as a number of photons. Each photon, when emitted, has a certain amount of energy. This is dictated by the amount of energy the particle has when it emits light. Higher levels of light require more energy to produce. Lower levels of energy produce light like microwaves or infra-red. Medium levels include visible light, ultraviolet and such. High levels, which require enormous amounts of energy, include things like X-rays and Gamma rays. Remember that there's no real difference between forms of light. Each category simply includes light with energy between one level and another (E.g Ultraviolet light exists between 10nm and 400nm). The number is arbitrary, however to a human there is still an important difference. So no, they aren't the same.
What are some ways scientist study the universe?
they use radio telescopes, infrared, gamma ray, and etc.
