Magnetic Waves
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.
