Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate because they generate self-sustaining oscillations of magnetic and electric fields. Hence, it can travel through the vacuum of space. A changing magnetic field generates an electric field and vice versa. This property allows the wave to carry energy across space. The phenomenon is applicable to sunlight and other forms of EM radiation that travel through space to reach Earth. They cover millions of kilometers while reaching Earth. The EM wave theory is fundamental to understanding phenomena like cosmic observations, satellite communication, and solar radiation.

The entire range of electromagnetic radiation, arranged to increase and decrease the wavelength is called the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. In the following order, it includes - radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. All these regions have unique properties and applications. For example, X-rays used in medical imaging, visible light in everyday vision, infrared in remote controls and thermal imaging and radio waves are used in communication. This is an important concept that helps in classifying and utilizing different EM waves.

Although the cutoff will be calculated after the declaration of results but according to past trends, cutoff for General students was around 90 percentile, so assuming this year the same trend will be followed. However getting addmission in good institute doesn't depends on only CAT score. You need to score good marks in class 10th and 12th and graduation as well. Personal interview plays a major role for getting admission.

The net magnetic flux through any closed surface is zero, according to Gauss's Law for magnetism.
Mathematically,
? B · dA = 0.
It states that all magnetic field lines that enter a surface must exit from it as well. In this way, it is different from the electric charges which can exist independently as positive and negative.

The Earth's magnetic field makes a magnetic inclination or dip with the horizontal plane at a particular location. It shows how much the magnetic field is tilted from the horizontal. It gets tilted due to the Earth's magnetic nature. The formula is:
tan I = B_V / B_H,
where B_V is the vertical component and B_H is the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field.

The angle between the magnetic north (the direction a compass points) and the geographic north (true north) is the magnetic declination. This angle can change over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field and varies with location on Earth. It is important for navigation where accurate directional orientation is crucial, especially in marine and aviation transport. The declination helps in avoiding navigational errors as it ensures that compass readings are corrected.
