The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze both statements and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement-I **Statement-I:** When X-ray incident on metal, the ejection of electron shows the particle nature of X-ray. - X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which can behave like particles (photons) under certain conditions. When X-rays strike a metal surface, they can impart enough energy to eject electrons from the metal. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect. - The ejection of electrons due to X-ray interaction indicates that X-rays possess particle-like properties, confirming that they can indeed behave as particles. **Conclusion:** Statement-I is **True**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement-II **Statement-II:** X-ray is a positively charged particle. - X-rays are not particles with charge; they are high-energy photons. Photons are neutral and do not carry any charge, whether positive or negative. - Therefore, the assertion that X-rays are positively charged particles is incorrect. **Conclusion:** Statement-II is **False**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements - Since Statement-I is true and Statement-II is false, we conclude that the first statement does not require the second statement to be true for its validity. ### Final Answer - Statement-I is true, and Statement-II is false. Thus, the correct option for this question will be option C. ---
