The structure of solids is investigated by using

1. cosmic rays
2. X-rays
3. γ-rays
4. infra-red radiations

Correct answer: X-rays

Solution

X-rays are used to investigate the structure of solids because their wavelengths are comparable to the interatomic distances in crystals, enabling diffraction and structural analysis.
