Per 7H: X-rays And Gamma Rays by Cindy https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq Research and Fact Finding :-) en-us 2018-02-09 21:01:08 UTC 2026-01-29 11:33:01 UTC hello@padlet.com What are the dangers of X-ray radiation waves? By: Malia, Vanessa, Edwin https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853350 Too much radiation exposure from CT scans or other scans can cause cell mutations that may lead to cancer. All side effects come at an extremely low risk. Some of them include vomiting, bleeding, fainting, hair loss, and loss of skin. Children tend to be more susceptible to these symptoms than adults, so pregnant women should take caution and use a lower dosage of radiation, such as an ultrasound. The dosage of radiation is even further muted by protective vests provided by doctors, so you shouldn’t worry about too much radiation. ]]> 2018-02-12 22:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853350 What are the common uses for gamma ray Waves?

Bethany Spurr and Bela Gonzales https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853389 •Gamma rays are the smallest wavelengths and have the most energy of any waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. 
•They are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as neutron stars and pulsars. 
•Gamma rays are produced in the disintergratikn of radioactive atom nuclei and in the decay of certain subatomic particles.
•Gamma rays are used to kill cancer cells.]]> 2018-02-12 22:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853389 Dangers of gamma rays https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853638 It interact with people’s clives]]> 2018-02-12 22:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853638 Defnie Gamma Rays by: Joey Gray and Jayla https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853777 •penatraing electromagnetic radiation of a kind rising from the radioactive decay

* they are a form of Radiation 

* transmitted in waves or particles in different wave lengths 

* used for medical imaging & treating diseases 

* classified into 2 types : soft x-ray & hard x-ray 

* Due to their ability to penetrate certain materials, X-rays are used for a number of nondestructive evaluation and testing (NDE/NDT) applications,

Gamma waves are ionized radiation. They appear as an aftermath from nuclear explosions and atomic bombs. They can be used in radiography and come after radioactive fallouts.]]> 2018-02-12 22:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853895 How Are X-Rays Waves Made? By: Sarah, Leah, and Daniel https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853974 X-ray waves are made:
•when electrons strike a target
•electrons are separated from heat filament
•accelerated by high voltage
•energy is converted to x-rays
•Also known as x-radiation]]> 2018-02-12 22:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230853974 What are the common uses for X-ray waves? https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230854089 By: Bradley and Samantha and Will
Common uses for x-ray waves include, to find broken bones in the body, radiation therapy, airport security, and revealing counterfeit art. Some of the uses are familiar, and others are more interesting to explain, X-rays are used by art historians to see if a picture has been painted over an existing piece. X-rays are known mostly for observing a patient's body to examine them for broken bones, and a security system for airports and other protected areas.]]> 2018-02-12 22:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230854089 https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230854433 2018-02-12 22:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ctomkinson/bvzrohy7mjeq/wish/230854433
