Assertion: The electromagnetic waves of ...

Assertion: The electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelength can travel longer distances on earth's surface thane those of longer of longer wavelengths.
Reason: Shorter the wavelength, the larger is the velocity of wave propagation. Also, shorter the wavelength, shorter is the velocity of wave propagation.

A

both, Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

both, Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

both, Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electromagnetic waver of shorter wavelenght are not diffracted much, hence they travel longer distance, `therefore` Assertion is true speed of propagation of E.M. waves is independent of its wavelenght.
Hence, Reason is false.
