Assertion: In everyday life to Doppler's effect is observed readily for sound waves than light waves.
Reason: Velocity of light is greater than that of sound.

A

(a) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

(d) If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Doppler's effect is observed readily in sound wave due to larger wavelengths. The same is not the case with light due to shorter wavelength in everyday life.
