Question
Which waves are commonly produced by oscillating electric circuits?
(A) Microwaves
(B) Radio waves
(C) Infrared rays
(D) X-Rays
Solution
(B) Radio waves are commonly produced by oscillating electric circuits.
Here's why:
-
Oscillating electric circuits are commonly used in the production of electromagnetic waves.
-
Among the options given, radio waves are the type of electromagnetic waves that are most commonly associated with oscillating electric circuits.
-
This is because the frequency of oscillation in these circuits is typically in the range of radio frequencies (RF), which is from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
-
Microwaves could also be produced by certain high-frequency oscillating electric circuits, but they are not as commonly associated with such circuits as radio waves.
-
Infrared rays and X-Rays are typically not produced by oscillating electric circuits. Infrared rays are more commonly associated with heat radiation, while X-Rays are produced by high-energy processes such as electron transitions in atoms.
