MY PROJECT ON GAMMA RAYS

MY RESEARCH Question

BACK Ground INFO

• the speed of gamma rays is equal to the speed of light that is 3 x 108 m/sec.
• Gamma rays have shortest wavelength rays which was discovered by humans.

WAVELENGTH AND FREQUENCY

• Gamma rays have the frequency of 3*1019 Hz
• and wavelengths of -10000000000

FACTS ABOUT GAMMA RAYS

• The gamma rays produced in the space are absorbed by earth’s atmosphere.
• Gamma ray are identical to microwaves or light with the difference of the very high energy.

USES FOR GAMMA Rays

• It is used for treatment of cancerous cells in our body without the use of surgery.
• It is used in industries to kill the harmful bacteria, organisms like yeast etc.

USES FOR GAMMA Rays CONTUINED

• Gamma rays are used by Engineers, since they can penetrate better than X-rays, to look for cracks in pipes and aircraft parts
• One of the destructive use is their important role in development of the atomic bomb.

HOW ARE THEY CREATED

• As certain radioactive nuclei decay that releases gamma rays

POTENTIAL DANGERS

• The first danger is that it can cause cancer
• It can lead to potential death
