Gamma rays are more dangerous than other forms of radiation because they have the highest frequency and energy, allowing them to penetrate deeply into tissues and cause damage at a cellular level. Their ability to ionize atoms and break chemical bonds in DNA can lead to mutations, cell death, and an increased risk of cancer. Additionally, gamma rays are difficult to shield against, increasing the risk of exposure.
alpha radiation is more dangerous than beta or gamma if ingested or inhaled because its power to ionize (or to disrupt atoms) is 20x than that of beta and gamma. but if the source is outside the body or at a distance gamma radiation is much dangerous because it could penetrate thick walls.
Gamma rays, just like (visible) light rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have a much shorter wavelength (and thus more energy) than visible light, which is why they are much more dangerous to human beings (e.g. they may cause cancer).
No, gamma rays have the highest energy of all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Gamma rays have more energy than beta rays. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while beta rays are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons.
Gamma rays are considered the most dangerous type of electromagnetic radiation because they have the highest energy and can penetrate deep into body tissues, causing damage to cells and DNA. In large doses, gamma rays can cause acute radiation sickness, cancer, and even death. Protection from gamma rays typically involves shielding with dense materials like lead or concrete.
Yes, of course.

Externally, gamma radiation is dangerous because it can penetrate the body. Alpha is most dangerous if ingested.
An improved , more accurate type of X-ray , but more dangerous , as it can cause skin cancer .
gamma rays
X-rays have lower energy, though they are both dangerous.
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...

Gamma Rays can pass straight through human tissue and are therefore highly dangerous. The only time you are likely to use Gamma rays is in scientific research.
Gamma rays.
No, gamma rays have the highest energy of all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
While we are all exposed to them a little form rocks and from outer space, they are NOT used in everyday life. Gamma rays are dangerous.
