Assertion : To hear distinct beats, diff...

Assertion : To hear distinct beats, difference in frequencies of two sources should be less than `10`.
Reason : More the number of beats per sec more difficult it is to hear them.

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.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

According to the property of persistence of hearing the impression of a sound heard persists on our mind for `(1)/(10)` sec. Therefore, number of beats per sec should be less than 10. Hence difference in frequencies of two sources must be less than 10.
