Electro Magnetic Waves Essay, Research Paper

I went to Hawaii on vacation to get a tan, but I got something else instead.

Ultraviolet rays are stronger, and hotter near the equator. When I got home I

got x-rays. I was sent for treatment with gamma rays. Wow! What a vacation. It

was so hot that I had to jump into a pool just to cool off. Ultraviolet rays

have wavelengths between 10nm and 430 nm. They also have a very high frequency

of about 10,000,000,000,000,000 Hz.- 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Hz. Photon energy

emissions are also very high. I think that overexposure to ultraviolet waves

caused my sunburn and skin cancer. I had broken my leg by falling in-between the

plane and the causeway while getting off the plane at the airport. X-rays have

wavelengths between 0.001 nm to about 10 nm. There frequency varies from

10,000,000,000,000,000 Hz. ? 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Hz. X-rays have

slightly higher photon energy emissions than ultraviolet rays. The X-rays had

discovered something very odd, that I have skin cancer. I was sent to get gamma

ray treatment for my skin cancer. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths,

between 0.0000003 nm ? 0.003 nm. Gamma rays also have the highest frequency,

between 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 Hz. ? 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Hz

and higher. They also have the highest photon energy emissions on the

electromagnetic spectrum. The Gamma rays were able to destroy the skin cancer

cells after a few treatments. The skin cancer was treated and I was normal again

in a few days. The Gamma rays played a big part in destroying the cancer cells.

I was sort of glad that I had broken my leg, other wise I wouldn?t have gotten

x-rays and discovered the skin cancer. I hate the ultraviolet rays; they gave me

cancer, next time I will use sunscreen! I will never forget my Hawaiian

vacation.
