उत्तर
- An electromagnetic wave having a wavelength 50 Å is an X-ray. They have a wavelength in the range of 0.1 Å to 100 Å.
- The speed of an electromagnetic wave (here X-ray) in a vacuum is 3x108 m/s.
- Since, they are stopped by bones, they are used for the detection of fractures in bones, teeth, etc., and for diagnostic purposes such as CAT scans in medical science.
