  2. 4

  3. $

    \sqrt{2}

    $

Fill the blank space with the best suitable option. All electromagnetic waves have the same _________ while travelling in a vacuum.

  1. amplitude

  2. frequency

  3. wavelength

  4. Intensity

  5. speed


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

All electromagnetic waves (EM waves) travel with the speed of light in vacuum but these have different frequency, amplitude, wavelength and intensity.

Thus option E is correct.

This question has statement-1 and statement-2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement 1: Short wave transmission is achieved due to the total internal reflection of the e-m wave from an appropriate height in the ionosphere.
Statement 2: Refractive index of a plasma is independent of the frequency of e-m waves.

  1. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 false.

  2. Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true

  3. Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true but statement 2 is not the correct of statement 1.

  4. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.


Correct Option: C
