The correct Answer is:
To solve the given assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that in the relation \( f = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}} \), where \( m \) represents linear mass density. We need to verify if this relation is dimensionally correct. ### Step 2: Identifying the Dimensions 1. **Frequency (f)**: The dimension of frequency is given by: \[ [f] = M^0 L^0 T^{-1} \] This indicates that frequency has dimensions of inverse time. 2. **Tension (T)**: The dimension of tension is the same as that of force, which is: \[ [T] = M^1 L^1 T^{-2} \] 3. **Linear Mass Density (m)**: Linear mass density is mass per unit length, so its dimension is: \[ [m] = M^1 L^{-1} T^0 \] ### Step 3: Analyzing the Right-Hand Side (RHS) Now, we need to analyze the RHS of the equation \( \frac{T}{m} \): \[ \frac{T}{m} = \frac{M^1 L^1 T^{-2}}{M^1 L^{-1}} = M^{1-1} L^{1-(-1)} T^{-2} = M^0 L^{2} T^{-2} \] Taking the square root of this expression: \[ \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}} = \sqrt{M^0 L^{2} T^{-2}} = M^0 L^{1} T^{-1} \] ### Step 4: Analyzing the Full Expression Now substituting back into the equation: \[ f = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}} = \frac{1}{2l} (M^0 L^1 T^{-1}) \] Here, \( l \) (length) has the dimension: \[ [l] = M^0 L^1 T^0 \] Thus, the dimension of \( \frac{1}{2l} \) is: \[ \frac{1}{l} = M^0 L^{-1} T^0 \] Now multiplying: \[ f = (M^0 L^{-1} T^0)(M^0 L^1 T^{-1}) = M^0 L^{0} T^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Conclusion for Assertion The dimension of \( f \) is \( M^0 L^0 T^{-1} \), which matches the dimension of frequency. Therefore, the assertion is correct. ### Step 6: Analyzing the Reason The reason states that the frequency has the dimensions of inverse time, which is indeed true: \[ [f] = M^0 L^0 T^{-1} \] ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are correct, but the reason does not provide a complete explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct option is that the assertion is true, and the reason is true but not a correct explanation of the assertion.
