When the frequency of an electromagnetic wave and ultrasonic wave are same, then
A. their wavelength should be same
B. wavelength of EM wave will be more
C. both have zero wavelength
D. wavelength of ultrasonic wave will be more
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
For the same frequency, wavelength λ = v/f; since light speed is vastly greater than sound speed, the EM wavelength is much larger than the ultrasonic wavelength.

Δλ = 6000 Å, and Δλ = 4 Å, the velocity is
A. 2 × 10^5 m s^-1
B. 4 × 10^5 m s^-1

Correct Option
Explanation
v/c = Δλ/λ = 4/6000 ≈ 6.667×10^-4 so v ≈ 6.667×10^-4 × 3×10^8 m/s ≈ 2×10^5 m/s.

Correct Option
Explanation
LEDs (light-emitting diodes) emit visible light as they are p–n junction devices designed for that spectral region.

Correct Option
Explanation
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, so 'electromagnetic waves' is correct.

The speed of electromagnetic radiation in vacuum
A. decreases from radiowaves to γ-rays
B. is the same for all components
C. depends on the source of radiation
D. increases from radiowaves to γ-rays
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
All components of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed c in vacuum, so option D is correct.
1178
The penetrating power of X-rays can be increased by
A. increasing the current in the filament
B. decreasing the current in the filament
C. increasing the potential difference between the cathode and the anode
D. decreasing the potential difference between the cathode and the anode
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Increasing the accelerating voltage raises photon energies, producing more penetrating X-rays.

In the experiment of production of X-rays, the anti-cathode should be bombarded with
A. protons
B. electrons
C. alpha-particles
D. beta-particles
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
X-rays are produced when high-speed electrons strike the anode (anti-cathode) and decelerate, producing bremsstrahlung and characteristic X-rays.
