Question
which waves can increase the risk of cancer? infrared and x-rays gamma and visible light ultraviolet and gamma radio and microwaves
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and gamma rays are ionizing radiations. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to damage DNA, which can lead to mutations and potentially cancer. Infrared, visible light, radio, and microwaves are non - ionizing radiations and do not have enough energy to directly damage DNA in a way that significantly increases cancer risk. X - rays are also ionizing but the option with X - rays (Infrared and X - Rays) has a non - ionizing (Infrared) component.
