Question

Which of the following is an application of X-rays?

• A. Mobile phones
• B. Checking bones for fractures
• C. Radio tower communication
• D. Microwave oven

Answer 1

The correct option is B Checking bones for fractures

For taking inner body images we need high energy waves and so infrared and microwaves are not suitable as they don't have the energy required and so X rays are used as they have enough energy to penetrate the body but not enough to penetrate our bones and that is why they are an ideal candidate for fracture detection.
