Multiple Choice QuestionsAssertion: Electromagnetic radiations exert pressure.
Reason: Electromagnetic-waves carry both momentum and energy.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.

X-rays are used in determining the molecular structure of crystalline because
its energy is high
it can penetrate the material
its wavelength is comparable to interatomic distance
its frequency is low
Assertion: In electromagnetic waves electric field and magnetic field lines are perpendicular to each other.
Reason: Electric field and magnetic field are self sustaining.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
The frequency order for X-rays ( A), γ-rays (B), UV rays (C) is
B > A > C
A > B > C
C > B > A
A > C > B
Assertion: Electromagnetic waves with frequencies smaller than the critical frequencies of ionosphere cannot be used for communication using sky wave propagation.
Reason: The refractive index of the ionosphere becomes very high for frequencies higher than the critical frequency.
