MCQ
Which of the following cannot be polarised?
  • A
    Radio waves
  • B
    $\beta$ rays
  • C
    Infrared rays
  • D
    $\gamma$ rays

Answer

  1. $\beta$ 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.
