A. Radio waves

B. Micro waves

C. X-rays

D. Gama rays

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, an ionizing radiation with wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet light. X-ray tubes evolved from experimental Crookes tubes with which X-rays were first discovered in the late 19th century, and the availability of this controllable source of X-rays created the field of radiography, the imaging of opaque objects with penetrating radiation.
