Assertion : When a simple pendulum is made to oscillate on the surface of moon , its time period increase
Reason: Moon is much smaller compared to earth

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`T=2pisqrt(l/g)`. On moon, g is much smaller compared to g on earth. Therefore, T increases.
It is also true that moon is smaller than the earth, but this statement is not explaining the assertion.
