Which of the following is electromagnetic wave?
A. X-rays
B. Microwaves
C. Light
D. All of these
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
X-rays, microwaves, and visible light are all forms of electromagnetic radiation, so all listed are electromagnetic waves.
1252
The potential difference applied to an X-ray tube is increased. As a result, in the emitted radiation
A. the minimum wavelength increases
B. the intensity decreases
C. the intensity increases
D. the minimum wavelength decreases
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Increasing the tube voltage raises the maximum photon energy, so the minimum (shortest) wavelength decreases.

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by:
A. only by radio and T.V. transmitting antennas
B. only by bodies at temperature higher than their surroundings
C. by all bodies
D. only by red hot bodies
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
All bodies emit electromagnetic radiation due to thermal motion; emission is not limited to visibly hot bodies or antennas.

Radio waves and visible light in vacuum have
A. continuous emission spectrum
B. line emission spectrum
C. same velocity but different wavelength
D. band absorption spectrum
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in vacuum (c) but have different wavelengths.

The area to be covered for T.V. telecast is doubled. Then the height of transmitting antenna (T.V. tower) will have to be
A. quadrupled
B. halved
C. doubled
D. kept unchanged
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Range for line-of-sight transmission scales with the square root of antenna height, so covered area ∝ height; doubling area therefore requires doubling the height.
1256
A metal block is exposed to beams of X-rays of different wavelengths. X-rays of which wavelength penetrates most?
A. 8 Å
B. 6 Å
C. 2 Å
D. 4 Å
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Shorter wavelength X-rays have higher energy and greater penetrating power, so 2 Å penetrates most among the options.
1257
Which of the following are NOT electromagnetic radiations?
A. radio waves
B. cathode rays
C. visible light
D. Ultra violet rays
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Cathode rays are streams of electrons (particles), not electromagnetic radiation.
1258
As the temperature of a hot body rises, the proportion of:
A. Shorter wavelength radiation increases
B. Longer wavelength radiation decreases
C. Longer wavelength radiation increases
D. Both (A) and (B)
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
With increasing temperature the peak shifts to shorter wavelengths, so shorter-wavelength radiation increases while longer-wavelength radiation decreases.
1259
Pick out the longest wavelength from the following types of radiations
A. Blue light
B. X-rays
C. Gamma rays
D. Red light
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Among the listed radiations, red light has the longest wavelength; gamma rays and X-rays are far shorter, and blue light is shorter than red.
