Sinag gamma: Pagkakaiba sa mga binago

Gamma rays and X-rays are now usually distinguished by their origin: X-rays are emitted by [[electron]]s outside the [[Nucleus (physics)|nucleus]], while gamma rays are emitted by the nucleus.<ref>Feynman, Richard; Robert Leighton, Matthew Sands 1963. ''The Feynman Lectures on Physics'', vol 1. USA: Addison-Wesley. pp2–5 ISBN 0201021161.</ref>

 

Gamma rays can also go through the skin to kill cells, such as cancerous cells.

[[Doctor]]s can use machines which produce gamma rays in [[hospital]]s to treat people with some types of [[cancer]].
