The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. **Step 1: Analyze the Assertion** - The assertion states that "Light year" and "Wavelength" both measure distance. - A light year is defined as the distance that light travels in one year. This is indeed a measure of distance. - Wavelength is the distance between successive peaks (or troughs) of a wave. This is also a measure of distance. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. **Step 2: Analyze the Reason** - The reason states that "Both have dimensions of time." - The light year is a unit of distance (specifically, it is equivalent to about 9.46 trillion kilometers). - Wavelength is also a unit of distance (measured in meters, nanometers, etc.). - Neither light year nor wavelength has dimensions of time; they both have dimensions of length. - Therefore, the reason is **false**. **Step 3: Conclusion** - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: Assertion is true, and Reason is false.
