Uses of infrared: ● It is used for photography at night and through fog. ● It is used for relieve of muscular pain. OR(b) Production of X-rays: ●X-rays are produced when high energy electron beam bombards metallic target of high melting and point heavy atomic weight. ●-ray is produced in Coolidge tube.
