This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
q=CV
And we know q=It
Then Iddt= cdV
Id= Cdv/dt
1 = 2 10-6 dV/dt
DV/dt= 500V/s, this will produce the desired result.

As we know radiant flux density S= (E )= c2 0(E )
Suppose electromagnetic waves be propagating along x-axis. The electric field vector of
Electromagnetic wave be along y-axis and magnetic field vector be along z-axis. Therefore,
E=E0cos (kx-wt)
B=B0cos (kx-wt)
E B= (E0B0)cos2(kx-wt)
S= c2 (E )
Radiant flux density over a complete cycle is
Sav= c2 0|E0 B0|
= c2 0|E0B0|
= 0E0( )
= 0E02= E02
=

(i) Microwave is used in satellite communications. So, λ1 is the wavelength of microwave.
(ii) Ultraviolet rays are used to kill germs in water purifier. So, λ2 is the wavelength of UV rays.
(iii) X-rays are used to detect leakage of oil in underground pipelines. So, λ3 wavelength of X-rays.
(iv) Infrared is used to improve visibility on runways during fog and mist conditions. So, it is the wavelength of infrared waves.
(b) Wavelength of X-rays < wavelength of UV < wavelength of infrared < wavelength of microwave.
⇒ λ3 < 2 < 4< 1
(c) (i) Microwave is used in radar.
(ii) UV is used in LASIK eye surgery.
(iii) X-ray is used

An electromagnetic wave carries energy and momentum like other waves.
Since, it carries momentum, an electromagnetic wave also exerts pressure called radiation pressure. This property of electromagnetic waves helped professor CV Raman surprised his students by suspending freely a tiny light ball in a transparent vacuum chamber by shining a laser beam on it. The tails of the camets are also due to radiation pressure.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Consider and electromagnetic waves, let E be varying along y-axis, B is along z-axis and propagation of wave be along x-axis. Then E*B will tell the direction of propagation of
energy flow in electromagnetic wave, along x-axis.
E= E0sin (wt-kx)j
B=B0sin (wt=kx)k
So S will become sin2 (wt-kx)i
And its variation with time is given below
