Question

which waves can increase the risk of cancer? gamma and visible light ultraviolet and gamma radio and microwaves infrared and x-rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays are a form of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, which can damage DNA and increase cancer risk. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation (especially from the sun or tanning beds) is also a known carcinogen. UV rays can cause mutations in skin cell DNA, leading to skin cancer. Visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and infrared are non - ionizing and do not have sufficient energy to directly damage DNA in a way that typically causes cancer. X - rays are ionizing but the option with X - rays here pairs it with infrared (non - ionizing).

Answer:

Ultraviolet and Gamma
