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 from the sun or tanning beds is also a known carcinogen. UV radiation can cause mutations in DNA, which may lead to skin cancer. Visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and infrared are non - ionizing radiations. Non - ionizing radiations do not have enough energy to directly break chemical bonds in DNA (although in some cases, non - ionizing radiation can cause other types of cellular damage that may be related to cancer in more complex ways, but not as directly as ionizing radiation). X - rays are ionizing radiations, but the option "Infrared and X - Rays" is incorrect because infrared is non - ionizing.

Answer:

Ultraviolet and Gamma
