Radio wave diffract around building although light waves do not. The reason is that radio waves
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Have much larger wavelength than light
Option B (Have much larger wavelength than light) is correct because diffraction is more pronounced when the wavelength of the wave is comparable to or larger than the size of the obstacle.

Statement I: Sound waves are not electromagnetic waves.
Statement II: Sound waves require a material medium for propagation. For a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in x-direction, which one of the following combination gives the correct possible directions for electric field and magnetic field respectively? Assertion: The relative velocity of two photons travelling in opposite directions is the velocity of light.
Reason: The rest mass of photon is zero Intensity of electromagnetic wave will be The rms value of the electric field of the light coming from the Sun is . The average total energy density of the electromagnetic wave is Methane is a greenhouse gas because
