उत्तर
The two electromagnetic waves and their uses having a frequency higher than that of violet light is:
X-rays: X-rays are very extensively used for medical purposes, e.g., in surgery to detect bone fractures by studying X-rays photographs.
Gamma rays: Gamma radiations are used in the cure of cancer.
