If an electromagnetic wave is propagation in a medium with permeability ε\mathrm{\varepsilon } and permittivity μ\mathrm{\mu }, then με\sqrt {\frac{\mathrm{\mu }}{\mathrm{\varepsilon }}} is the
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Intrinsic impedance of the medium
The correct answer is A (Intrinsic impedance of the medium) because με\sqrt {\frac{{\rm{{\mu }}}}{{\rm{{\varepsilon }}}}} represents the intrinsic impedance of a medium.

A capacitor having a capacity of 2 pF. Electric field across the capacitor is changing with a value of 1012  Vs−1{10^{12}}\mathrm{\;V}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}. The displacement current is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
2A2\mathrm{ }A
Option A (2A2\mathrm{ }A) is correct because the displacement current is calculated using the formula i=CdVdti = C\frac{{dV}}{{dt}}, where C is the capacitance and dVdt\frac{{dV}}{{dt}} is the rate of change of electric field.

The existence of electromagnetic waves was theoretically predicted by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Maxwell
Option B (Maxwell) is correct because James Clerk Maxwell theoretically predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves.

A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface. If the wave delivers momentum pp and energy EE, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
p≠0,E≠0p \ne 0,E \ne 0
Option B (p≠0,E≠0p \ne 0, E \ne 0) is correct because electromagnetic waves carry both momentum and energy, which they transfer upon incidence on a material surface.

The frequency 1057 MHz1057 \mathrm{~MHz} of radiation arising from two close energy levels in hydrogen belongs to
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Radio waves
Option A is correct because a frequency of 1057 MHz corresponds to radio waves.
246 Medium

Application +4 | -1
A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field with a velocity vector at an angle of 45∘45^\circ with the magnetic field. The pitch of the helical path followed by the particle is p. The radius of the helix will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
p2π\frac{p}{{2\pi }}
Option C (p2π\frac{p}{{2\pi }}) is correct because it correctly relates the radius of the helix to the pitch using the given angle and the formulas for pitch and radius in a magnetic field.

Application +4 | -1
The dielectric constant of air is 1.006. The speed of electromagnetic wave travelling in air is a×108  ms−1a \times {10^8}\;m{s^{ - 1}}, where a is about
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
3
Option A (3) is correct because the speed of electromagnetic waves in air is very close to the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 3 × 108 m/s.
248 Medium
248 of 250

An electromagnetic wave can be produced, when charge is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Both 2 and 3
Option D is correct because an electromagnetic wave is produced when a charge is accelerated, which occurs when moving in a circular orbit or falling in an electric field.
249 Medium

Application +4 | -1
A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a plane surface of area A, normally and is perfectly reflected. If energy E strikes the surface in time t then average pressure exerted on the surface is ( c=\mathrm{c}= speed of light)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
2E/Atc
Option C (2E/Atc) is correct because the average pressure exerted is twice the energy divided by the area, time, and speed of light, accounting for perfect reflection.
250 Medium
250 of 250
Understanding +4 | -1
A charged particle moving with constant acceleration produces
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
electric field, magnetic field and electromagnetic wave
Option D (electric field, magnetic field and electromagnetic wave) is correct because an accelerating charged particle produces all three fields.
