Select True or False for the following statements about
electromagnetic waves.
True False The sun's radiation is most intense in the
infrared region.
True False A vertical automobile antenna is sensitive to
electric fields polarized horizontally.
True False The Earth's atmosphere is quite transparent
to infrared radiation.
True False Blue light has a higher frequency than
X-rays.
True False X-rays are produced by a glowing light
bulb.
True False Gamma rays travel in vacuum at the same speed
as the visible light.
True False Visible light is often emitted when valence
electrons change their state.
False ( radiation is most intense in UV region)
False - ( because polarization should be in the same plane as the element of the antenna for sensitivity)
True - ( because IR radiation are directly passed to space without being absorbed in atmosphere)
false - ( frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength and wavelength of blue light is higher than that of X-rays)
false - ( we can produce x-rays in salvaged light bulb with special arrangement)
True - ( all EMT waves travel with same speed in vacuum)
False - ( it depends on the energy difference between the two states )
