Question
In long range transmission, why micro waves are better carrier than radio waves?
✓
Answer
In long range transmission, micro waves are better carrier than radio waves because their wavelength is very less as compared to radio waves. Due to this, during obstruction, they suffer minimum deviation and can be sent directly towards the aim.

A metal block of density $6000\ kg m^{-3}$ and mass $1.2\ kg$ is suspended through a spring of spring constant $200N m^{-1}$. The spring-block system is dipped in water kept in a vessel. The water has a mass of $260g$ and the block is at a height $40\ cm$ above the bottom of the vessel. If the support to the spring is broken, what will be the rise in the temperature of the water. Specific heat capacity of the block is $250J\ kg^{-1} K^{-1}$ and that of water is $4200J\ kg^{-1} K^{-1}$. Heat capacities of the vessel and the spring are negligible.
