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 Rama

A variable frequency AC source is connected to a capacitor. How will the displacement current change with decrease in frequency?
A variable frequency AC source is connected to a capacitor. How will the displacement current change with decrease in frequency?
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Xc=1/2
And displacement current is inversely proportional to Xc so when capacitive reactance increases then displacement current will decrease.
The charge on a parallel plate capacitor varies as q=q0 cos 2πvt. The plates are very large and close together (area = A, separation = d). Neglecting the edge effects, find the displacement current through the capacitor.

Why does microwave oven heats up a food item containing water molecules most efficiently?
Why does microwave oven heats up a food item containing water molecules most efficiently?
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Microwave oven heats up the food items containing water molecules most efficiently because the frequency of microwaves matches the resonant frequency of water molecules.
Why is the orientation of the portable radio with respect to broadcasting station important?
Why is the orientation of the portable radio with respect to broadcasting station important?
This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The orientation of the portable radio with respect to broadcasting station is important because the electromagnetic waves are plane polarised, so the receiving antenna should be parallel to the vibration of the electric or magnetic
