Question

Name the electromagnetic radiation used to destroy cancer cells.

Answer 1

Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles or waves, such as x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons, to destroy or damage cancer cells. Your cells normally grow and divide to form new cells.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electromagnetic radiations such as X-rays and gamma rays are used to destroy cancer cells.

Explanation:

Modern-day cancer treatments use gamma rays as they have the shortest wavelength and therefore the highest in energy.

Therefore, they can be precisely made to target the cancer cells or the tumours without causing any damage to the nearby healthy cells.
