Question

Name the radiations:

that are used for the detection of fractures in bones.

Answer 1

1. Radiation that is used for fracture detection is X-ray.
2. X-rays (X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
3. The wavelength of X-ray radiation ranges from (${10}^{-8}$$m$ to${10}^{-12}$$m$) and the frequency range ($30\times {10}^{15}Hz$to $30\times {10}^{18}Hz$).
4. Uses of X-rays: X-rays are mostly used in medical science, chest x-rays can detect pneumonia, x-rays are used to detect fractured bones, and mammograms use x-rays for diagnosing breast cancer.
