Question : Which one of the following is not a property of electromagnetic waves?
Option 1: Electromagnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
Option 2: Osillating electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other.
Option 3: Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
Option 4: Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate.
Correct Answer: Electromagnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
Solution : The correct option is Electromegnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
Electromagnetic waves , like light, demonstrate both interference and diffraction. Interference arises from the interaction of two or more waves, leading to patterns of constructive and destructive interference. Diffraction, on the other hand, involves the bending or spreading of waves when they encounter an obstacle or opening. This phenomenon is also observed in electromagnetic waves, including light.
