MCQ
Which of the following cannot be polarised?
- ARadio waves
- B$\beta$ rays
- CInfrared rays
- D$\gamma$ rays
✓
Answer
- $\beta$ rays
Explanation:
$\beta$ are stream of particles comprising of electrons moving with very high velocity, hence it cannot be polarized, while others can as they are electromagnetic waves.

A conducting gas is in the form of a long cylinder. Current flows through the gas along the length of the cylinder. The current is distributed uniformly across the cross-section of the gas. Disregard thermal and electrostatic forces among the gas molecules. Due to the magnetic fields set up inside the gas and the forces which they exert on the moving ions, the gas will tend to:
