  • Assertion : Solids, can support both longitudinal and transverse waves but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases. Reason : For the proagation of transverse waves, medium must also necessarily have the property of rigidity.

    A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
