Question
Below is an incomplete table showing the arrangement of electromagnetic spectrum in the increasing order of their wavelength. Complete the table:
| Gamma ray | X - ray | UV rays | Visible rays | Infrared | A | Radio waves |
- Identify the radiation A.
- Name the radiation used to detect fracture in bones.
- Name one property common to both A and Radio waves.
