Assertion: Speed of wave `(wave l ength)/(timeperiod)`
Reason: Wavelength is the distance between two nearest particles in phase.

A

if both the assertion and reason are true and reson is a true explanation of the assertion.

B

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

C

If the assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Velocity of wave
`=("Distance travell edby wave(lamda)")/("time period (T)")`
Wavelength is also defined as the distance between two nearest points in phase.
