These are used within hospitals for sterilisation and they break down bacteria. They also remove electrons from atoms to form ions. Therefore they mutate DNA.
Gamma rays (they're ionising radiation!)
1 of 7
These are also used within hospitals, but to see inside our bodies. Although they are useful, they can also lead to cancer, and can damage body cells.
X-rays.
2 of 7
These rays are useful to make our skin become more tanned, but these again, can lead to cancer, and can also cause skin burns. Moreover, Ritter discovered this type of ray.
Ultraviolet.
3 of 7
We can see this, however, it can still be dangerous and it can cause temporary blindness.
Visible light.
4 of 7
We can use this for controlling the television, as it is expelled in a beam from our remotes. This can be dangerous too, as it can damage our body cells.
Infrared.
5 of 7
This type of wave is used to heat things up (example: food) and this waves potential danger is that it internally heats up cells, therefore, this is why this type of wave is used to heat things up.
Microwaves.
