Ques. 1AIPMT 2003

Which of the following rays are not electromagnetic waves?

  1. X-rays
  2. -rays
  3. -rays
  4. heat rays

Answer

(3) -rays

Solution

X-rays, -rays and heat (infrared) rays are parts of the electromagnetic spectrum; they travel with speed c and carry no charge.

-rays are streams of fast-moving electrons (or positrons) emitted from nuclei, i.e. material particles carrying charge; they are deflected by electric and magnetic fields.

∴ -rays are not electromagnetic waves.
