Question

Assertion : The electrical conductivity of earth’s atmosphere decrease with altitude.

Reason     : The high energy particles (i.e. g-rays and cosmic rays) coming from outer space and entering our earth’s atmosphere causes ionisation of the atoms of the gases present there and the pressure of gases decreases with increase in altitude.

(a) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.

(d) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Free 238U nuclei kept in a train emit alpha particles. When the train is stationary and a uranium nucleus decays, a passenger measures that the separation between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus becomes x in time t after the decay. If a decay takes place when the train is moving at a uniform speed v, the distance between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus at a time t after the decay, as measured by the passenger will be:
