Q.8 Answer:
becomes less than two times

Solution:

λ min is minimum wavelength of continuous X-ray

 hc
λ min =
E

Energy, E = eV

λ min =
hc

eV
.....eq 1
where, V is the voltage applied
Δλ = λ K α − λ min .....eq 2
λ min = λ K α − Δλ .....eq 3
Now, if V is halved, λ Kα will not be changed as the energy between the two shells remain same and λ min

becomes doubled from eq 1

Now, Δλ′= λ K α − λ′ min

Δλ′= λ K α − λ′ min

Δλ′= λ K α − 2λ min

From eq 3 putting in above equation

Δλ′= λ K α − 2(λ K α − Δλ)

Δλ′= 2 Δ λ − λ Kα

So, 2 Δ λ > Δλ′

Q.9 Answer:
Radio waves
Solution:

This given frequency corresponds to the radio waves i.e short wavelength or high frequency.
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than infrared light in the
electromagnetic spectrum. Charged particles undergoing acceleration, such as time-varying electric
currents, produce radio waves. Transmitters create artificial radio waves, which radio receivers receive
through antennas. In modern technology, radio waves are commonly used in fixed and mobile radio
transmission, television, radar and radio navigation systems, communications satellites, cellular computer
networks, and a variety of other applications.

Q.17 Answer:
energy
Solution:

Electromagnetic waves bring energy from one location to another and thus momentum is carried along
with it as well.
Furthermore, electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric field or magnetic field, which indicates
that they have no charge whatsoever.
Therefore, EM waves do not carry any charge. The charge is often linked with the mass. Since EM waves
are simply waves, they have no mass and therefore no charge.
