DEFINITION of WAVE
0 Wave is the propagation of vibration or

disturbance symptoms from one location to

another by transferring energy.

ELECTROMAGNETIC
WAVE

0 Electromagnetic wave is the propagation symptom of

electric and magnetic fields which are perpendicular to

each other and change periodically
0 Based on their medium,waves are distinguished into

mechanical and electromagnetic waves.

0 Based on the direction of vibration against the direction of

its propagation,waves are distinguished into tranverse and

longitudinal waves
0 Electomagnetic waves : - radio waves

- mikrowave
Infrared rays Visible light Ultarviolet rays X-ray
Gamma Rays etc.

DEFINITION of GAMMA
RAYS
0 Gamma rays ( often denoted by the Greek

letter gamma, ) is an energetic form of

electromagnetic
radiation
produced
by
radioactivity
or
nuclear
or
subatomic
processes
such
as
electron-positron
destruction.

HISTORY
0 Paul Ulrich Villard, a French chemist and

physicist, discovered gamma radiation in

1900, while studying radiation emitted
fromradium. Villard knew that his described
radiation was more powerful than previously
described rays from radium, but did not
consider naming them as a different
fundamental type.

HISTORY
0 Paul Villard, a French physicist working in Paris at the same

time as Marie and Pierre Curie, is credited with discovering

gamma rays. In 1895, Roentgen discovered X-rays and
shortly thereafter Becquerel discovered radioactivity of
uranium salts.
0
Paul Villard's main interest was in chemistry, which
guided him into his studies of cathode rays, X-rays, and
"radium rays." His experiments in radioactivity led to the
unexpected discovery of gamma rays in 1900. Villard
recognised them as being different from X-rays because the
gamma rays had a much greater penetrating depth. He had
discovered they were emitted from radioactive substances
and were not affected by electric or magnetic fields.

FREQUENCY RANGE
0 Sinar gamma memiliki panjang gelombang

10-10 meter sampai 10-12 meter dengan

frekuensi 1018 hingga 1020 .
0 Sinar
gamma
merupakan
gelombang
elektromagnetik yang mempunyai frekuensi
terbesar dan gelombang terpendek
0 Gelombang ini memiliki energi yang sangat
besar yang dapat menembus logam dan
beton

CARATERISTIC
0 Sumber: radio isotop, reaksi nuklir, inti

atom yang tidak stabil

0 Deskripsi: radiasi elektromagnetik

0 Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and
highest frequency of all EM radiation.. Gamma
rays are produced in areas of extremely high
temperature, density and magnetic fields

THE PROPERTIES
0 Daya tembus sangat besar
0 Tidak dapat dibelokkan oleh medan listrik

dan magnet

0 Energi sangat besar dan sangat merusak
0 Kurang mengionisasi

How Gamma Rays are

produced :
0 Gamma rays can be produced in labs through

the process of nuclear collision and also

through the artificial radioactivity that
accompanies these interactions. The highenergy nuclei needed for the collisions are
accelerated by devices such as the cyclotron
and synchrotron.

MANFAAT SINAR
0 Digunakan dlm teknik radiografi yaitu pemotretan bagian

dlm suatu benda. Hasil pemotretan tsb direkam dlm sinar X.

0 Digunakan dlm bidang kedokteran, yaitu dlm teknologi yang
canggih yaitu CT-Scanner (Computed Tomography Scanner)
0 Digunakan pula pada kasus bedah saraf, dalam bentuk pisau
gamma
0 Digunakan dlm proses sterilisasi. Sterilisasi sangat baik
dipakai untuk produk jaringan biologi.
0 Digunakan utk proses pemuliaan tanaman dgn teknik mutasi
di BATAN
0 Digunakan untuk membuat serangga menjadi mandul.
0 Digunakan untuk membunuh bakteri dan virus pada hasil
tanaman dan makanan tertentu

0 Uses:
0 Medicine
0

Gamma rays are used in medicine to kill and treat certain types of cancers and tumors. Gamma
rays passing through tissue of the body produce ionization in tissue. Gamma rays can harm the cells
in our body. The rays can also detect brain and cardiovascular abnormalities.
0
0 Industry
0
Gamma rays can be used to examine metallic castings or welds in oil pipelines for weak points.
The rays pass through the metal and darken a photographic film at places opposite the weak points.
In industry, gamma rays are used for detecting internal defects in metal castings and in welded
structures. Gamma rays are used to kill pesticides and bugs in food. Gamma rays are also used in
nuclear reactors and atomic bombs.

Gamma rays are often used in the food industry. The radioisotopes preserve foods. Although the
rays never come in contact with food, beta radiation kills various organisms, such as bacteria, yeast,
and insects.

Gamma rays can be used to detect beryllium. They also played a very important role in the
development of the atom bomb.

KERUGIAN SINAR
Dapat mengakibatkan:
0 Pusing-pusing
0 Nafsu makan berkurang
atau hilang
0 Terjadi diare
0 Demam
0 Berat badan turun
0 Kanker darah/leukimia
0 Meningkatnya denyut
jantung
0 Daya tahan tubuh
berkurang
0 Kanker
0 Merusak DNA

0 Dangers:
0
Gamma rays bombard our

bodies constantly. They come

from the naturally radioactive
materials in rocks and the soil.
We take some of these
materials into our bodies from
the air we breathe and the
water we drink. Gamma rays
passing through our body
produce ionization in tissue.
High levels of gamma rays can
produce dangerous ionization
of the tissue and can cause
skin cancer.

DISTINGUISH RAYS

-Dgn sinar dan :

Sinar lebih berbahaya dibanding sinar dan
karena radiasi hanya dpt menembus kertas tipis, dan
sinar hanya dpt menembus beberapa milimeter udara.

What is the difference between

gamma rays and X-rays?
The key difference between gamma rays
and X-rays is how they are produced. Gamma
rays originate from the nucleus of a
radionuclide after radioactive decay whereas
X-rays are produced when electrons strike a
target or when electrons are rearranged within
an atom. Cosmic rays also include high-energy
photons and these are also called gamma-rays
whether or not they originated from nuclear
decay or reaction.
