Assertion: Transverse waves are not produced in liquids and gases.
Reason: Light waves are transverse waves.

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
Transverse waves travel in the form of crest and troughs involving change in shape of the medium. As liquids and gases do not possess the elasticity of shape, therefore transverse waves cannot be produced in liquid and gases. Also light wave is one example of transverse wave.
