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: "The light year and wavelength consist of dimensions of length." - A light year is defined as the distance that light travels in one year. Since it measures distance, it has the dimension of length (L). - Wavelength, on the other hand, is the distance between successive crests of a wave. This also measures distance and thus has the dimension of length (L). **Conclusion for Assertion**: The assertion is true because both light year and wavelength are measurements of length. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Both light year and wavelength represent time." - A light year is a measure of distance, not time. It indicates how far light travels in a year, but it does not measure time itself. - Wavelength also does not represent time. It is a measure of the spatial period of a wave. **Conclusion for Reason**: The reason is false because neither light year nor wavelength represents time; they both represent distance. ### Final Conclusion Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct option is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Answer: The correct option is: Assertion is true, but Reason is false. ---
