Which one is not an example of electromagnetic wave ?

  • A.Supersonic waves
  • B.γ-rays
  • C.X-rays
  • D.Ultraviolet rays

Answer: A

The one that is not an electromagnetic wave is Supersonic waves.

'Supersonic' describes motion faster than sound, and the waves meant are sound waves, which are mechanical waves. They need a material medium to travel through and cannot cross a vacuum.

Gamma rays, X-rays and ultraviolet rays are all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through a vacuum at the speed of light, differing only in wavelength: gamma rays shortest, then X-rays, then ultraviolet.
