The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, we will break down the concepts of ultrasonics and ultraviolet radiation, and then evaluate the validity of both statements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ultrasonics**: - Ultrasonics refers to sound waves that have frequencies greater than 20 kHz (20,000 Hz). - These sound waves are not audible to the human ear because the typical range of human hearing is from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. 2. **Understanding Ultraviolet Radiation**: - Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and has frequencies higher than visible light (beyond the violet end of the spectrum). - Like ultrasonics, ultraviolet rays are not visible to the human eye, as the human eye can only perceive light within the visible spectrum (approximately 400 nm to 700 nm). 3. **Evaluating Statement-1**: - Statement-1 claims that ultrasonics is the acoustic analogue of ultraviolet radiation. - This is correct because both ultrasonics and ultraviolet radiation exist outside the range of human perception (auditory and visual, respectively). 4. **Evaluating Statement-2**: - Statement-2 states that ultraviolet rays do not produce visual sensations while ultrasonic waves are not heard by the human ear. - This statement is also correct. Ultraviolet rays are indeed not visible, and ultrasonic waves are not audible. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements are correct and Statement-2 provides a valid explanation for Statement-1, we can conclude that both statements are true and Statement-2 is the correct reason for Statement-1. ### Final Answer: Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are true, and Statement-2 is the correct explanation for Statement-1. ---
