MCQ
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as

Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A :$ Earth has atmosphere whereas moon doesn't have any atmosphere.

Reason $R$ : The escape velocity on moon is very small as compared to that on earth.

In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false
  • B
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is correct explanation of $A$

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is correct explanation of $A$
d
At Moon, due to low escape velocity, the rms velocity of molecules is greater than escape velocity. Hence molecules escape and there is no atmosphere at Moon.
