MCQ

A vector $\overrightarrow{\text{A}}$ points vertically upward and $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ points towards north. The vector product $\overrightarrow{\text{A}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ is:

✓
Along west.
B
Along east.
C
Zero.
D
Vertically downward.

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

Along west.

Explanation:

The vector product $\overrightarrow{\text{A}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ will point towards the west. We can determine this direction using the right hand thumb rule.

Wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure).

Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature is evident by.

Unpolarised red light is incident on the surface of a lake at incident angle $\theta_{R}$. An observer seeing the light reflected from the water surface through a polariser notices that on rotating the polariser, the intensity of light drops to zero at a certain orientation. The red light is replaced by unpolarised blue light. The observer sees the same effect with reflected blue light at incident angle $\theta_{B}$. Then,
