Question:
The Solar Radiation is
The Solar Radiation is
Show Hint
Electromagnetic waves, including light and solar radiation, do not require a medium to propagate and are always transverse.
Updated On: Mar 19, 2025
- Stationary wave
- Mechanical wave
- Transverse EM wave
- Longitudinal EM wave
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Solar radiation is composed of electromagnetic (EM) waves. EM waves are transverse waves where the electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Since solar radiation is an EM wave, and EM waves are transverse in nature, the correct answer is: Transverse EM wave

- A conducting rod of length L and mass m falls vertically under gravity through a region of uniform magnetic field B, directed into the plane of the page. The rod is placed on two smooth, vertical conducting rails connected at the bottom by a resistor R. Assuming no friction or air resistance, and the rod quickly reaches a constant terminal velocity, find the expression for v in terms of B, L, m, R.
