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 "In a longitudinal wave, pressure is maximum at a point where displacement is zero." - In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the direction of wave propagation. - At points where the displacement of the particles is zero, it corresponds to the locations of compression and rarefaction in the wave. - However, maximum pressure occurs at the points of compression, where the particles are closest together, not where the displacement is zero. **Conclusion for Assertion**: The assertion is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "There is a phase difference of \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) between \(y(x,t)\) and \(\Delta P(x,t)\) in the case of longitudinal waves." - The displacement \(y(x,t)\) can be represented as \(y(x,t) = A \sin(\omega t - kx)\). - The pressure variation \(\Delta P(x,t)\) can be represented as \(\Delta P(x,t) = B A k \cos(\omega t - kx)\). - The cosine function can be rewritten in terms of sine: \(\cos(\theta) = \sin\left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\). - This indicates that there is indeed a phase difference of \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) between the displacement and pressure. **Conclusion for Reason**: The reason is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion - Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, the correct answer is that the assertion is incorrect while the reason is correct. ### Answer: Assertion is false, Reason is true. ---
