Answer;
X-rays
Explanation;
X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and are electromagnetic waves that travels with a speed of light.
They have a wide range of application in medicine, for example they are used by dentists to evaluate oral health of the teeth.
Dentists use dental x-rays, which are images of the teeth to study and evaluate the oral health. These images could be used to identify problems such as tooth decay, cavities and impacted teeth.
