Electromagnetic Waves

Question
CBSEENPH12047994

Assertion:  The electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.

Reason:  Waves of wavelength 10 µm are radiowave and microwave.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If assertion is true but reason is false.

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

C.

If assertion is true but reason is false.

10μm wavelength lies in infrared region.

While range of Radio wave is > 0.1 m and range of microwave is lies between 0.1m to 1 mm.

Hence assertion is true but reason is false.
