    Which of the following rays are not electromagnetic waves?                                             [AIPMT 2003]

    A)  \[\beta \]-rays

    B)                   Heat rays         

    C)  X-rays 

    D)                   \[\gamma \]-rays

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[\beta \]-rays are fast moving electrons. So, they are not electromagnetic waves.
                 Heat rays can travel through vacuum via radiation process. They are electromagnetic waves.
                 X-rays are electromagnetic waves having wavelengths from about \[{{10}^{-8}}m\] to \[{{10}^{-12}}m\].
                 \[\gamma \]-rays are electromagnetic waves having wavelengths ranging from about \[{{10}^{-16}}m\] to \[{{10}^{-14}}m\].
    Hence, choice  is correct.
