Thermal radiations are similar to
Thermal radiations are similar to
- A. \( \alpha \) rays
- B. X-rays
- C. cathode rays
- D. none of these
Step-by-step solution
Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted due to temperature. X-rays are also electromagnetic waves, whereas alpha rays (helium nuclei) and cathode rays (electrons) are particle radiations. Thus, thermal radiation is similar to X-rays in being electromagnetic.
