What would extreme radiation do to the body?

What type of radiation can be detected by the Human body?

  • Hi, I need this for my science class. what type of radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by the Human body? I think it's X-rays but IDK

  • Answer:

    If you mean your body is affected by it your probably thinking of ultraviolet waves because we can feel those but gamma and x-ray waves can alter the body, but if you mean what can we see or hear it would be radio waves and visable light.
