Assertion (A) : LASER is used to measure distant object as moon.
Reason (R) : They are highly coherent source of light.

A

If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

If both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

If A is true but R is false

D

If A is false but R is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As LASER is highly monochromatic and highly coherent, we can send a LASER beam to the moon, from where it comes back reflected without much loss of intensity . That's why the large distances can be measured accurately with the help of LASER.
