(A) according to electromagnetic theory an accelerated particle continuously emits radiation.
(R) according to classical theory, the proposed path of an electron in rutherford atom model will be parabolic.

Options

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 both assertion and reason are false.

Answer

C

Explanation

According to classical electronmagnetic theory, an accelerated charge continuously emits radiation. As electrons revolving in circular paths are constantly experiencing centripetal acceleration,hence thay will be losing their energy continuously and the orbital radius will go on decreasing and spial and finally the electron will fall on the nuclus.
