1) We are all familiar with X-rays. They are used to detect broken bones
and other injuries to our skeletal muscular system. Other waves in the
electromagnetic spectrum are utilized in the medical field. One type of
wave, considered a mutagen, is used in cancer therapy. What is that
electromagnetic wave?
In this exercise, we need to know the types of radiation and their ionizations, so we have that the other type of radiation used in the medical field is:
The gamma rays.
What is the definition of radiation?
Radiations are electromagnetic waves or particles that propagate with a certain speed. They contain energy, electrical and magnetic charge. They can be generated by natural sources or by man-made devices. They have variable energy from small to very high values.
Among the main examples of ionizing radiation, we have:
Alpha radiation: it is composed of two protons and two neutrons and has low penetrating power.
Beta radiation: is formed by an electron and has penetrating power in relation to alpha, gamma and X-ray radiation.
