Assertion : Transverse waves travel through air in an organ pipe.
Reason : Air possesses only volume elasticity.

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 assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Since transverse wave can propagate through medium which posses elasticity of shape. Air posses only volume elasticity therefore transverse wave cannot propagate through air.
