Question : 11
Total: 12
(a) (i) Arrange the following electromagnetic radiation in the ascending order of their frequencies:mathrmX-rays, microwaves, gamma rays, radio waves3
(ii) Write two uses of any two of these radiation.
OR(b) With the help of a ray diagram explain the working of a reflecting telescope. Mention two advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope.3
Solution:  
(a) (i) Arranging in ascending order of frequency:Radio waves, Microwaves, X-rays, Gamma ray(ii) Uses of X-ray:
- to view bones and teeth, for diagnosing fractures.
- to check for cracks or flaws in industrial materials.Uses of infra-red:
- In heat-sensitive thermal imaging cameras.
- In home remote controls.
OR

Parallel light rays from infinite distance initially are incident on two concave objective mirrors. After reflection they are incident on a secondary convex mirror. A virtual image is formed at mathrmF. After reflection by the convex mirror, the rays meet at a point to form a real image which is observed by the eyepiece.
Advantages of a reflecting telescope over a refracting telescope:
- Mirrors can be made larger in size than lenses.
- There is no chromatic aberrations.
