Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Electromagnetic radiation is quantized in photons, which are the fundamental particles of EM waves.

Which is not true for X-rays:
A. X-rays are not deflected by electric field
B. X-rays consist of electromagnetic waves
C. X-rays can be diffracted by grating
D. X-rays are polarized
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
X-rays are electromagnetic and can be polarized and diffracted by crystal lattices, but they are not typically diffracted by ordinary optical gratings, so 'diffracted by grating' is not true in the usual sense.
1313
The X-rays consists of:
A. High energy photons
B. High energy γ-rays
C. High energy proton
D. High energy electrons
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
X-rays are electromagnetic radiation, i.e., high-energy photons.
1314
The penetrating power of X-rays is least with materials of
A. high mass density
B. high weight
C. high volume density
D. high electron density
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Materials with high electron density provide more interaction sites (photoelectric and Compton effects), reducing X-ray penetration.

Which form of electromagnetic radiation is used in RADAR?
A. Short wavelength infrared waves
B. Long wavelength ultraviolet waves
C. Long wavelength radiowaves
D. Short wavelength microwaves
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
RADAR systems typically employ microwaves of relatively short wavelength for detection and ranging.
1316
X-rays travel in straight line with velocity
A. equal to sound

Correct Option
Explanation
X-rays are electromagnetic radiation and in vacuum travel at the speed of light.
1317
Which one of the following has the largest energy content?
A. Infra-red radiations
B. X-rays
C. γ-rays
D. Ultra-violet radiations
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
Gamma rays have the highest photon energy among the listed options, higher than X-rays and ultraviolet.
1318
Television signals on earth cannot be received at distances greater than 100 km from the transmission station. The reason behind this is that
A. the TV programme consists of both audio and video signals
B. the surface of earth is curved like a sphere
C. the receiver antenna is unable to detect the signal at a distance greater than 100 km
D. the TV signals are less powerful than radio signals
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
TV transmissions are largely line-of-sight; the Earth's curvature limits reception beyond a certain distance, so the surface curvature is the reason.

Wien's constant is measured in:
A. Metre kelvin
B. Kelvin per metre
C. Joules
D. Metre per kelvin
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Wien's constant relates wavelength and temperature, so its unit is metre·kelvin (m·K).
