SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that the effectiveness of gamma rays in tumor treatment is primarily due to their higher frequency rather than the amplitude of the waves. It is established that the energy of gamma rays, which is linked to their frequency, is crucial in targeting tumors. The amplitude, representing the number of photons, does not significantly influence the treatment's efficacy.
