Given below are some famous numbers associated with electromagnetic radiations in different contexts in physics. State the part of the electromagnetic spectrum to which each belongs.
$(a)$ $21 \; cm$ (wavelength emitted by atomic hydrogen in interstellar space).
$(b)$ $1057 \; MHz$ (frequency of radiation arising from two close energy levels in hydrogen; known as Lamb shift).
$(c)$ $2.7 \; K$ (temperature associated with the isotropic radiation filling all space; thought to be a relic of the 'big-bang' origin of the universe).
$(d)$ $5890 \; \mathring{A} - 5896 \; \mathring{A}$ (double lines of sodium).
$(e)$ $14.4 \; keV$ (energy of a particular transition in $^{57}Fe$ nucleus associated with a famous high-resolution spectroscopic method, Mossbauer spectroscopy).

$Ultraviolet$ radiations are used in $LASIK$ surgery.
