X-rays can be used to:
- 1inspect welded joints between two metal parts of a machine.
- 2study structure of crystals. Select the answer using the code given below:
General KnowledgePhysics
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
X-rays penetrate metals, so industrial radiography uses them to inspect welded joints for internal cracks and flaws without cutting the part. In science, X-ray diffraction (X-ray crystallography) reveals the atomic structure of crystals, since X-ray wavelengths match interatomic spacings. Both applications are standard and well established. Hence option C is correct.
