A Light rays
B X-rays
C Alpha rays
D Gamma rays

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Alpha rays

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Alpha rays is not an electromagnetic wave.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

Two long conductors separated by a distance 'd' carry currents ' \(\mathrm{I}_1\) ' and ' \(\mathrm{I}_2\) ' in the same directions. They exert a force ' F ' on each other. The distance between them is increased to ' 3 d '. If new repulsive force of magnitude '2/3 F' is found between these conductors, the required change in the magnitude and direction of one of the currents in the conductor is respectively [length of the conductors is constant]

The mean and the standard deviation of 10 observations are 20 and 2 respectively. Each of these 10 observations is multiplied by p and then reduced by \(q\), where \(p \neq 0\) and \(q \neq 0\). If the new mean and new standard deviation (s.d.) become half of the original values, then q is equal to
