Assertion: Wave speeds is given by `v=flambda`. If frequency `f` is doubled, `v` will becomes two times.
Reason : For given conditions of medium wave speed remains constant.

A

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not correct expanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that wave speed is given by the formula: \[ v = f \lambda \] where: - \( v \) is the wave speed, - \( f \) is the frequency, and - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength. ### Step 2: Analyze the Effect of Doubling Frequency If the frequency \( f \) is doubled, we can denote the new frequency as \( f' = 2f \). Using the wave speed formula: \[ v = f \lambda \] If we double the frequency, we need to consider how the wavelength changes. ### Step 3: Determine the Change in Wavelength From the wave speed equation, if the frequency is doubled, we can express the new wave speed as: \[ v' = f' \lambda' = (2f) \lambda' \] To maintain the wave speed constant (as stated in the reason), the wavelength must change. Since wave speed remains constant for a given medium, we can set the original wave speed equal to the new wave speed: \[ f \lambda = 2f \lambda' \] ### Step 4: Solve for the New Wavelength Now, we can rearrange the equation: \[ \lambda' = \frac{\lambda}{2} \] This shows that if the frequency is doubled, the wavelength is halved. ### Step 5: Conclusion About Wave Speed Since the wave speed \( v \) remains constant (as stated in the reason), we conclude that: \[ v = f \lambda = 2f \left(\frac{\lambda}{2}\right) \] Thus, the wave speed does not change, and it remains constant regardless of the changes in frequency and wavelength. ### Final Evaluation of Assertion and Reason - **Assertion**: "If frequency \( f \) is doubled, \( v \) will become two times." This is **false** because the wave speed remains constant. - **Reason**: "For given conditions of medium, wave speed remains constant." This is **true**. ### Final Answer The assertion is false, and the reason is true. Therefore, the correct option is option number 4. ---
