प्रश्न
Name any two electromagnetic waves which have a frequency higher than that of violet light. State one use of each.
उत्तर
The two electromagnetic waves and their uses having a frequency higher than that of violet light is:
X-rays: X-rays are very extensively used for medical purposes, e.g., in surgery to detect bone fractures by studying X-rays photographs.
Gamma rays: Gamma radiations are used in the cure of cancer.

The figure shows the intensity-wavelength relations of X-rays coming from two different Coolidge tubes. The solid curve represents the relation for the tube A in which the potential difference between the target and the filament is VA and the atomic number of the target material is ZA. These quantities are VB and ZB for the other tube. Then,
