Matching EM Waves with Their Production – Rankers Physics

Properties of EM Waves: Practice Problem & Solution

Match column I with column II. | Column-I (Types of EM waves) | Column-II (Production) | | A. Infra-red | P. Rapid vibration of electrons in aerials | | B. Radio | Q. Electrons in atoms emit light when they move from higher to lower energy level. | | C. Light | R. Klystron valve | | D. Microwave | S. Vibration of atoms and molecules | Choose the correct match from the options given below:
A-P, B-R, C-S, D-Q
A-S, B-P, C-Q, D-R
A-Q, B-P, C-S, D-R
A-S, B-R, C-P, D-Q

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Properties of EM Waves. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Infrared waves are produced by molecular vibrations (A-S). Radio waves by accelerating charges in aerials (B-P). Light waves by atomic transitions (C-Q). Microwaves by klystron/magnetron valves (D-R).
