Gamma Rays

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ans .. They are radio waves--> These rays can effectively be used to transmit data waves and information at various frequencies Gamma rays are very high frequency rays which have high penetration power and extremely hazardous for health. Basically, they are emitted in nuclear reactions too. ultraviolet rays. These are the rays which come from the sun. They are believed to cause skin cancer. So they cannot be used infrared waves. These are responsible for producing heating effect on striking an object. They are a major component of the rays from the sun. So they cannot be used

Gamma rays are high energy radiations emitted by radioactive reactions. Ultraviolet rays are also highly energetic. If your skin is exposed to these rays, it just destroys all the molecules in it. In fact, that is what makes atom bombs so dangerous. While the leave the landscape, that is buildings, roads, cars and buses, generally everything unscathed, the kill off everything living in the area. Basically, no signs of violence, no property damage, just everyone's dead, that all. Now, no one in their sane minds is going to allow these for cell phone communications. By the way, the answer is radio waves. It is because they have very low energy (not going to throw your elec bill out of proportions) and don't refract too much when they go through the atmosphere and all the dust. Apart from being deadly, gamma rays would scatter everywhere thanks to all the pollution and dust.
