The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states: "In a longitudinal stationary wave, a displacement node coincides with a pressure antinode." - In longitudinal waves, particles oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave. At a displacement node, there is no movement of particles, while at a pressure antinode, the pressure varies maximally. - It is a known fact that in longitudinal waves, the displacement nodes (where particle displacement is zero) indeed coincide with pressure antinodes (where pressure variation is maximum). - **Conclusion**: The assertion is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states: "Restoring force is maximum at node and minimum at antinode." - In longitudinal waves, the restoring force is related to the displacement of particles from their equilibrium position. At a node, where there is no displacement, the restoring force is actually **minimum** because the particles are not displaced. - Conversely, at an antinode, where the displacement is maximum, the restoring force is **maximum** since the particles are at their farthest point from equilibrium. - **Conclusion**: The reason is **false**. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. 4. **Selecting the Correct Option**: - Based on our analysis, the correct option is: "Assertion is true and reason is false." ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Assertion is true and reason is false.** ---
