Cancer treatment, industrial imaging, sterilization of food & surgical instruments are just a few of the myriad of applications for gamma rays. remember, gamma rays are produced primarily during the decay of certain radioisotopes and although not unlike x-rays, are not produced in the same fashion. Cobalt 60 has been used to provide a gamma source for radio-graphic imaging in nondestructive testing of pipe welds.

What do we use gamma ray for?
We use Gamma Ray to make Hulk
Why is americium-241 ideal to use in gauges?
Americium 241 is an artificial isotope with a long half life - 432,2 years - and a gamma ray emitter. Being a strong gamma emitter it can be used for gamma radiography of materials and for thickness gauges.
What picture could you use to represent the word ray?
A picture of the Sun with rays or draw the Earth with gamma rays coming towards it
What is one use of gamma rays?
Gamma rays are used to kill cancer cells.
Does radiotherapy use gamma rays?
Yes
Why do we use gamma ray machine?
We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.
What do we use gamma ray for?
We use Gamma Ray to make Hulk
How do humans use gamma ray energy?
The typical use for human-generated gamma radiation is in medical procedures, such as the "gamma knife" cancer therapy treatments.
Do astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes?
No they do not, or use gamma ray telescopes either. Not ground based.
Example of a gamma ray?
It comes out of the machine they use to blast away cancer tumors.
How are gamma ray used for communication?
Gamma Rays can pass straight through human tissue and are therefore highly dangerous. The only time you are likely to use Gamma rays is in scientific research.
How do Satellites for observing X-rays and Gamma rays eg Chandra X-ray observatory work?
they use gamma rays... i think. top that peeps!
What are some ways scientist study the universe?
they use radio telescopes, infrared, gamma ray, and etc.
What is the use of an gamma ray?
It can be used in radiation therapy to treat cancer as the high-energy gamma rays can kill tumour cells. Source: I am a Nuclear Physicist working in MIT
What does gamma ray use for?
Electromagnetic radiation emitted during radioactive decay and having an extremely short wavelength.
Why use satellites and earth orbiting observatories to study the universe at x ray or gamma ray wave lengths?
Those radiations hardly reach Earth's surface, because they are absorbed by the atmosphere.
