Question
For question two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion (A): A narrow pulse of light is sent through a medium. The pulse will retain its shape as it travels through the medium.
Reason (R): A narrow pulse is made of harmonic waves with a large range of wavelengths.

Answer

  1. A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
A narrow pulse is made of harmonic waves with a large range of wavelengths. As speed of propagation is different for different wavelengths, the pulse cannot retain its shape while travelling through the medium.
