Ans:
Electromagnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
Explanation :
Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other, either because they come from the same source or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency. Interference effects can be observed with all types of waves, for example sound waves, surface waves, and electromagnetic waves (e.g., light waves, etc).

[20] A radio-active substance has a half life of six months. Three-fourth of the substance will decay in –
A.
Six months
B.
