Why are UV rays used in LASIK eye surgery?
**X-rays and gamma rays in medicine** X-rays imaging because bone absorbs more than tissue, contrast, CT scan uses multiple X-ray projections, gamma knife uses focused gamma rays to destroy tumor with minimal surrounding damage, illustrating high-energy EM wave medical use. The document mentions that due to their shorter wavelengths, UV rays can be focused into narrow beams, making them suitable for high-precision applications like LASIK eye surgery. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields They can be focused into narrow beams, illustra
