Explanation Radio waves are Electromagnatic waves with the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, typically with frequencies of 300 gigahertz Radio waves were first predicte d by the theory of electromagnetism proposed in 1867 by Scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell SH5-8-2023
C. Ability of cloud to scatter electromagnetic radiation
D. Ability of atmospheric gases to trap heat
Check answer and explanation
Answer: Ability of atmospheric gases to trap heat
Explanation The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases in t he atmosphere trap heat from the Sun . Key greenhouse gases include CO₂, CH₄ (methane), N₂O, and water vapor. These gases allow sunlight to enter but absorb and re-radiate infrared radiation back to Earth. This process warms the planet, making life possible.
مندرجہ ذیل میں سے کون سا حصہ فضا میں شامل نہیں ہے؟
A. Troposphere
B. Exosphere
C. Mesosphere
D. Hydrosphere
Check answer and explanation
Answer: Hydrosphere
Explanation The Earth’s atmosphere is divided into different layers ( Troposphere, Mesosphere, and Exosphere ). Hydrosphere refers to all water bodies on Earth. Therefore, Hydrosphere is not part of the atmosphere. Additional information : Troposphere : 0–12 km (weather layer) Stratosphere : 12–50 km Mesosphere : 50–85 km Thermosphere : 85–600 km Exosphere : 600 km and above Last verified on 21-04-2026
Explanation The blue colour of the sky is due to the scattering of light by the atmospheric particles. Light of shorter wavelengths scatters more than the light of longer wavelengths and the violet colour has a shorter wavelength , but our eyes are more sensitive to blue light. Hence, the colour of a clear sky is blue.
