youre underrated, this was so helpful ty sir <3

It taught my class well. Thank you. (:

What is beyond Gamma Rays? There has to be higher frequencies.

[erdriguez]

Thanks for the simple video. It was easy to take notes from. More interesting facts would be cool. Thanks! (:

I finish my last ever science exam tomorrow wooo

[Robotics]

Thanks soo much. These videos are so helpful. I wish I could subscribe more than once❤️❤️❤️

im confused in my cgp book it says xrays will pass easily through flesh nut not easily through denser materials such as bones but u said the complete opposite?
loved ur video but just confused cus i dont know which one is right

How are gamma rays "produced"? Can you only use radioactive material such as Cobalt 60 or can you just power an X-Ray-tube with 100kV to produce gamma rays?

u forgot to add that gamma rays can be used to turn urself into a hulk 😂😆

where is a huge mistake in difference between Gamma and X rays:
Gamma Radiation: Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, typically less than 0.01 nanometers (nm). They have extremely high-frequency electromagnetic waves.
X-Rays: X-rays have longer wavelengths compared to gamma rays, ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers (nm). X-rays have higher wavelengths than gamma rays but shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet light.

Is MRI as dangerous as XRay scanning?
Heck man, I didn't know that xray scan was dangerous

[williammoriarty]

Can gamma rays be raw materials for photosynthesis?

[summerbreezenight]

The side effect (carcinogenic) of X-ray isn't rare at all. This is misleading.

Thank you, it's terrible explanation
