Answer:

X ray

Step-by-step explanation:

To see an object the light used must have the same or smaller wavelength than the object. The size of an atom is about
10^(10) m, smaller than the wavelength, therefore we'll need radiation with a shorter wavelength since X-ray wavelengths are about the same size as atoms this characteristic makes it ideal to use.

I hope you find this information useful nd interesting! Good luck!
