Consider the following statement A and B and identify the correct answer A) Radio waves diffract around buildings but light waves does not B) To cut down glare of incident light we prefer sun glasses made from polaroids

A light wave can travel

Light waves can be polarised as they are

Assertion : Radio waves are diffracted by buildings Reason : Radio waves are high energy waves.

How are radio waves produced?

Give reasons : (a) Diffraction of sound waves is easier to observe than light waves. (ii) We do not observe diffraction from wide slit illuminated with monochromatic light.

Long range radio transmission is possible when the radiowaves are reflected from the ionosphere. For this to happen the frequency of the radio waves must be in the range:

Sound waves shown more diffraction as compare to light rays-
