Assertion: Out of radio waves and microwaves, the former undergoes more diffraction.
Reason: Radio waves have greater frequency compared to microwaves.

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:
C

The waves which consist longer wavelength have more diffraction. Since ratio waves have greater wavelength than microwaves, hence, radio waves undergo more diffraction than microwaves.
