  • question_answer
                    Which of the following rays are not electromagnetic waves?                                                      

    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 \[{{10}^{-6}}m\,\,to\,\,{{10}^{-14}}m\].                 Hence, choice (a) is correct.
