Solution and Explanation
Electromagnetic Waves and Their Applications 
Explanation:
- FM Radio Broadcast: Uses radio waves in the meter range, allowing transmission over long distances.
- Detection of Bone Fractures: Uses X-rays as they can penetrate soft tissues but are absorbed by bones, creating images.
- Treatment of Muscular Strain: Uses infrared rays to provide deep tissue heating and pain relief.

- Assertion (A): A charged particle is moving with velocity \( v \) in \( x \)-\( y \) plane, making an angle \( \theta \) (\( 0<\theta<90^\circ \)) with \( x \)-axis. If a uniform magnetic field is applied in the region, along \( y \)-axis, the particle will move in a helical path with its axis parallel to \( x \)-axis.
Reason (R): The direction of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is along the velocity of the particle.- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025
