Answer 2

Since the energy of of a photon is inversely proportional to wavelength

E=hc/wavelength

and gamma rays have lowest wavelength therefore Gamma rays is considered as highest energy electromagnetic radiation , and therefore it can cause the most damage. Due to gamma rays mutations in growing tissues can occur and it can cause cell damage therefore pregnant women should avoid exposure of gamma radiation.
