The wave having a discrete set of frequencies only can be set up to a medium. It is called _:

Correct answer: A. Quantization of frequency

  • A. Quantization of frequency
  • B. Resonance
  • C. Photo-electric effect
  • D. None of these

Explanation

A wave with a discrete set of frequencies indicates quantization of frequency, where specific frequencies are present. This term reflects the concept of specific, quantized frequencies in the wave. Therefore, the correct answer is Option A. The other options, such as Resonance and Photo-electric effect, do not directly relate to the discrete set of frequencies mentioned in the question.

About Optics

Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
