JEE Main & Advanced Physics EM Waves JEE PYQ-Electro Magnetic Waves

  • question_answer
    Select the correct statement form the following:                    [JEE ONLINE 23-04-2013]

    A) Electromagnetic waves cannot travel in vacuum

    B)             Electromagnetic waves are longitudinal waves 

    C)             Electromagnetic waves are produced by charge moving with uniform velocity.

    D)             Electromagnetic waves carry both energy and momentum as they processes through space.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Electromagnetic waves do not required any medium to propagate. They can travel in vacuum. They are transverse in nature like light. They carry both energy and momentum.
    A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field and vice-versa.
    Which gives rise to a transverse wave known as electromagnetic wave.
