Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (C) and (D) Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A): X-rays have very short wavelengths, typically ranging from \(10^{-8}\) to \(10^{-13}\) meters. (C): Being ionizing radiation, X-rays carry enough energy to displace electrons from atoms, which can damage living cells and DNA. (D): This describes the standard operation of an…
