Assertion : `X` - rays cannot be diffracted by means of grating .
Reason : `X` - rays does not obey Bragg's law.

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason are true but 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:
C

Wavelength of `X` - rays is very small `(~~ Å)`. Hence they are not diffracted by means of ordinary grating. `X` - rays follow the Bragg's law.
