Gamma rays are produced by applying electric and magnetic fields at right angles to each other. It is in the range of the spectrum which is beyond he soft X-rays. Gamma radiation can cause damage to living tissues which makes it useful to kill cancer cells.

The answer would be letter B.

Answer;

A.) electric and magnetic fields at right angles to each other

Explanation;

  • Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves that are part of the electromagnetic spectrum with the lowest wavelength and highest frequency.
  • Gamma rays are type of a radioactive rays that are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects such as supernova explosions.
  • Gamma rays are not deflected by either magnetic field or electric field because they have no electrical charge that are associated with them.  Additionally, gamma rays have no mass.
