The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that \(\sqrt{\frac{\text{Modulus of Elasticity}}{\text{Density}}}\) has the unit of \( \text{ms}^{-1} \). 1. **Modulus of Elasticity (E)**: - The modulus of elasticity is defined as stress divided by strain. - Stress is defined as force per unit area. The dimensions of force (F) are given by: \[ [F] = [M][L][T^{-2}] \] - Area (A) has dimensions: \[ [A] = [L^2] \] - Therefore, the dimensions of stress are: \[ [\text{Stress}] = \frac{[F]}{[A]} = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] - Since strain is dimensionless, the dimensions of modulus of elasticity (E) are: \[ [E] = [M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] 2. **Density (\(\rho\))**: - Density is defined as mass per unit volume. The dimensions of density are: \[ [\rho] = \frac{[M]}{[V]} = \frac{[M]}{[L^3]} = [M][L^{-3}] \] 3. **Calculate Dimensions of \(\sqrt{\frac{E}{\rho}}\)**: - We need to find the dimensions of \(\sqrt{\frac{E}{\rho}}\): \[ \sqrt{\frac{E}{\rho}} = \sqrt{\frac{[M][L^{-1}][T^{-2}]}{[M][L^{-3}]}} = \sqrt{\frac{[L^{-1}][T^{-2}]}{[L^{-3}]}} = \sqrt{[L^{2}][T^{-2}]} = [L][T^{-1}] \] - The dimensions \([L][T^{-1}]\) correspond to the unit of velocity, which is \( \text{ms}^{-1} \). ### Conclusion for Assertion: The assertion is true since \(\sqrt{\frac{\text{Modulus of Elasticity}}{\text{Density}}}\) indeed has the unit of \( \text{ms}^{-1} \). --- ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that acceleration has the dimensions of \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0} \cdot t}\). 1. **Understanding \(\epsilon_0\) and \(\mu_0\)**: - The product \(\epsilon_0 \mu_0\) is related to the speed of light \(c\) in vacuum: \[ c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}} \] - Therefore, \(\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0} = \frac{1}{c}\). 2. **Substituting into the Reason**: - The reason can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0} \cdot t} = \frac{c}{t} \] - The dimensions of \(c\) are: \[ [c] = [L][T^{-1}] \] - Thus, the dimensions of \(\frac{c}{t}\) are: \[ \frac{[L][T^{-1}]}{[T]} = [L][T^{-2}] \] - The dimensions \([L][T^{-2}]\) correspond to acceleration. ### Conclusion for Reason: The reason is true because it correctly identifies the dimensions of acceleration. --- ### Final Conclusion: Both the assertion and the reason are true. However, the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the answer is: **B**: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
