What is X-Rays and Gamma Rays: Properties, Uses, and Risks about?

X-rays, discovered in 1895, are high-frequency electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate soft tissues but are absorbed by bones and metals. Gamma rays, with the highest frequency and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, are produced by radioactive decay and have applications in medicine, industry, and space science. Both X-rays and gamma rays pose dangers such as cell and DNA damage, necessitating heavy shielding to protect against radiation exposure.
