Question
Assertion : In Hertz experiment, the electric vector of radiation produced by the source gap is parallel to the gap.
Reason : Production of sparks between the detector gap is maximum when it is placed perpendicular to the source gap.

Answer

(c) Hertz experimentally observed that the production of spark between the detector gap is maximum when it is placed parallel to source gap. This means that the electric vector of radiation produced by the source gap is parallel to the two gaps i.e., in the direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the radiation.
