To solve the problem, we need to identify the types of electromagnetic waves based on the given wavelength ranges and provide one use for each type. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Wavelength Range for (a)**: - The given wavelength range is \(10^{-11} \text{ m} < \lambda < 10^{-14} \text{ m}\). - This range corresponds to **Gamma Rays**. Gamma rays have very short wavelengths and are known for their high energy. ...
