Identify the correct statements from the following in the context of electromagnetic waves.
(A) X-rays are not electromagnetic waves.
(B) Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.
(C) Electromagnetic waves can not be polarised.
(D) Electromagnetic waves travel with the speed of light in vacuum.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A (A) and (D) only
- B (B) and (D) only
- C (A), (C) and (D) only
- D (B), (C) and (D) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) (B) and (D) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves because their electric and magnetic field vectors oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation, which also allows them to be polarized (making statement C incorrect). Additionally, all EM waves, including X-rays (making…
