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: Electromagnetic waves exert pressure called radiation pressure.
Reason: Electromagnetic waves carries energy.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves transport linear momentum as well as energy. When electromagnetic waves strike a surface, a pressure is exerted on the surface. If the intensity of wave is I, the radiation pressure P (force per unit area) exerted on the perfectly absorbing surface is $\text{p}=\frac{\text{I}}{\text{c}}.$

Assertion (A): In a hydrogen atom there is only one electron but its emission spectrum shows many lines.
Reason(R): In a given sample of hydrogen there are many atoms each containing one electron; hence many electrons in different atoms may be in different orbits so many transitions from higher to lower orbits are possible.

Reason: In L-R circuit voltage leads the current by phase angle which depends on the value ofinductance and resistance both.
