Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation: radiowaves, infra-red, vissible light. Which of the following statements are correct?
(i) Only radiowaves can be used to transmite audio information.
(ii) Only infrared radiation is emitted by very hot object.
(iii) Only visible light can be detect by humans.

A

only (i) is correct

B

only (ii) is correct

C

only (iii) is correct

D

None of the above is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

(i) Audio information can be transmitted in the
from of the optical wave through optical fibres.
(ii) very hot objects emit not only infrared
radiation but also emit visible radiation.
(iii) Humans can detect infrared radiations by
feeling the heat on the portion of body exposed by
radiation.
Therefore, all the given statements are not
completely correct. Hence the option(d) is
correct.

According to Planck's quantum theory of light, every source of radiation emits photons (i.e., packets of energy ) which travel in all directions with the same speed (i.e., speed of light). Each photon is of energy E=hv=hc//lambda , where h is Planck's constant, v is the frequency and lambda is wavelength of radiation emitted. The photons emitted from different sources of radiation are different. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) on what factors does the number of photons emitted per second from a source of radiations depends? (ii) Why are the high energy photons not vissible to eye? (iii) Which basic values do you learn from this study?

Which of the following statements about photoelectric effict is/are false ?
