1 GAMMA RAYS By Philip Jepsen and Pat Daly

2 What do we use gamma rays for ? Gamma rays are used for gamma cameras, treating cancer, killing bacteria, and diagnosing purposes in nuclear medicine.

3 Humans are not able to see gamma rays without a special technological device. The gamma log is a human made detector that allows people to see gamma rays. No organisms can see gamma rays. Humans are not able to see gamma rays without a special technological device. The gamma log is a human made detector that allows people to see gamma rays. No organisms can see gamma rays. Are humans able to see gamma rays? Can other organisms see gamma rays?

4 Can gamma rays hurt humans and how? Can gamma rays hurt humans and how? Yes. When gamma ray molecules collide with a molecule in your body it can damage or destroy it. If this happens it can lead to cancer. Yes. When gamma ray molecules collide with a molecule in your body it can damage or destroy it. If this happens it can lead to cancer.

5 When was Gamma rays discovered? How was it discovered? Who discovered it? It was discovered on the explore Xl satellite in 1961, picked up fewer than 100 cosmic gamma ray photos. Gamma rays were not developed until we could get a device above the atmosphere using balloons or a spacecraft. Paul Villard, a French physicist discovered gamma rays.
