Solution

  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 10-12mto10-10m.
  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.
