A lab technician needs to clean medical instruments that have been exposed to bacteria. Which electromagnetic wave
would be most useful for this task?

Ultraviolet wave

Explanation:

Ultraviolet waves would be best used to sterilize a surface expose to bacteria because it will completely destroy them.

Most medical equipment are usually sanitized by using this rays because the DNA of most bacteria can be innervated upon exposure to these ray.

Ultraviolet rays are energetic and more powerful than the normal visible light and subsequent long wavelength radiations.

Generally, ultraviolet rays is a very harmful electromagnetic radiation.  

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
