Which type of energy cause sunburn?
Do you mean 'Which electromagnetic wave in the electromagnetic spectrum causes sunburn? The answer is Ultraviolet (UV), which is what is used in sunbeds and therefore damages and colours your skin cells.
Do gamma rays have the shortest wave length?
Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.
Why do you have to go to space to see all of the electromagnetic spectrum?
On Earth the gravity will be more than the electromagnetism of a magnet. this affects the magnet's pull. On the other hand, in space ther's no gravity. So space is the best place for this task.
What is gamma ray wave?
Gamma-rays are the most energetic form of light and are produced by the hottest regions of the universe. They are also produced by such violent events as supernova explosions or the destruction of atoms, and by less dramatic events, such as the decay of radioactive material in space. Things like supernova explosions (the way massive stars die), neutron stars and pulsars, and black holes are all sources of celestial gamma-rays.A gamma ray is a packet of electromagnetic energy--a photon. Gamma photons are the most energetic photons in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays (gamma photons) are emitted from the nucleus of some unstable (radioactive) atoms.Gamma rays are an extremely high-energy form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Gamma ray radiation has a much, much shorter wavelength than visible light, so gamma ray photons have much, much higher energies than photons of light do. Gamma rays lie at the extreme high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays, which have slightly lower energies than gamma rays, are the neighbors of gamma rays along the EM spectrum. In fact, the spectral ranges of hard X-rays and gamma rays overlap. Gamma rays have wavelengths of about 100 picometers (100 x 10-12 meters) or shorter, or energies per photon of at least around 10 keV. This type of electromagnetic wave oscillates with a frequency of 3 exahertz (EHz or 1018 hertz) or higher.There is no sharp distinction between the highest energy X-rays and the lowest energy gamma rays. The distinction between X-rays and gamma rays is actually based on the origin of the radiation, not on the frequency or wavelength of the electromagnetic waves. Gamma rays are produced by nuclear transitions, while X-rays are the result of accelerating electrons. Photons with energies between about 10 keV and a few hundred keV can be either hard X-rays or gamma rays.These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells. Gamma-rays travel to us across vast distances of the universe, only to be absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. Different wavelengths of light penetrate the Earth's atmosphere to different depths.
What type of electromagnetic waves can be used to kill cancer?
gamma waves, they kill most cells
How do you use the electromagnetic spectrum in medicine?
The EM spectrum is used in the treatment of cancers by killing malignant cells, gamma rays and X-rays are used for this purpose. Similarly, X-rays are used in the analysis and diagnosis of patients by medical imaging called radiology.

Which element on the periodic table is used to kill cancer cells?
In terms of the Electromagnetic spectrum, Gamma radiation and X-rays are usually used to treat cancer patients in a process called Radiotherapy, as these are the highest energy forms of the EM spectrum. However, other forms of radiation such as high-energy neutrons are being used, which do not belong to the EM spectrum.

Which term best describes cells that are stimulated when sound waves vibrate hair cells in the ………..?
Inner ear
Electromagnetic receptors?
Cells that detect and respond to electromagnetic fields, allowing for the detection of magnetic fields.
What are infrared lights?
== == Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet. "Near infrared" light is closest in wavelength to visible light and "far infrared" is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer, far infrared wavelengths are about the size of a pin head and the shorter, near infrared ones are the size of cells, or are microscopic.
What are two types of electromagnetic cells?
Wet and dry cell.
Which term best describes cells that are stimulated when sound waves vibrate hair cells in the inner ear?
Mechanoreceptors
Can cells be observed with magnifying glass?
No, you have to use a Electromagnetic telescope at least
Why can you see visible light waves but not other electromagnetic waves?
Visible light consists of the band of wavelengths to which the structure of the human eye is sensitive. Radiation outside of that band may enter the eye, but there's nothing in there that responds to it, so the brain remains unaware of it.
The structure within the cochlea containing hair cells that vibrate at different natural frequencies is the?
basilar membrane
