Identify practical applications of visible light, UV radiation, X-ray and gamma ray​

Sagot :

gamma rays application

Gamma rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation, obtained by the decay of an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays are more penetrating, in matter, and can damage living cells to a great extent. Gamma rays are used in medicine (radiotherapy), industry (sterilization and disinfection) and the nuclear industry.

visible light application

Potential applications of VLC include Li-Fi, vehicle to vehicle communication, robots in hospitals, underwater communication and information displayed on sign boards. The Li-Fi uses visible light for communication to provide high speed internet up to 10Gbits/s.

UV radiation application

UV radiation is widely used in industrial processes and in medical and dental practices for a variety of purposes, such as killing bacteria, creating fluorescent effects, curing inks and resins, phototherapy and suntanning. Different UV wavelengths and intensities are used for different purposes.

x-rays application

X rays are widely used for diagnostic purposes in these fields. Examples might include the observation of the broken bones and torn ligaments of football players, the detection of breast cancer in women, or the discovery of cavities and impacted wisdom teeth.
