Question

Name the radiation which is used for the detection of fracture in bones.

Answer 1

1. X-rays are used for the detection of fractions in bones.
2. The electromagnetic radiation that is used for the detection of fractures in bones is X-rays whose wavelength is in between ${10}^{-12}mto{10}^{-10}m.$
3. The frequency of X- rays are very high so they have a high penetrating power.
4. X-rays affect the photographic plate as a result they can easily pass through human flesh and take pictures of fractured bones.

Hence, the electromagnetic radiations which are used for the detection of fractures of bones are X-rays.
