Answer:
x-ray and gamma rays are created in power plants for nuclear energy,
and are also used in smaller
amounts for medical imaging tests,
cancer treatment, Food irradiation,
and airport security scanners. x-rays
and gamma rays are both types
of high energy (high frequency)
electromagnetic radiation.
Explanation:
gamma rays are produced in
the disintegration of radio active
atomic nuclei and in the Decay of
certain subatomic particles. the
commonly accepted definitions of
the gamma-ray and x-ray regions
of the electromagnetic spectrum
include some wavelength overlap,
with gamma-ray radiation having
wavelengths that are generally
shorter than a few tenths of an
angstrom (10 metre) and
gamma-ray photons having
energies that are greater than tens
of thousands of electron Volt's (eV).
there is no theoretical upper limit to
the energies of gamma-ray photons
and no lower limit to gamma-ray
mavelengths; observed energies
presently extend up to a few trillion
electron Volt's- these extremely
high- energy photons are produced
in astronomical sources through
currently unidentified mechanisms.
