Assertion: The time period of geostation...

Assertion: The time period of geostationary satellite is `24` hrs.
Reason: Geostationary satellite must have the same time period as the time taken by the earth to complete on revolution about its axis.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.

B

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

C

If the assertion is true but reason false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As the geostationary satellite is established in an orbit in the plane of the equator at a particular place, so it move in the same sense as the earth and hence its time period of revolution is equal to `24` hrs, which is equal to time period of revolution of earth about its axis.
