Assertion: Speed of wave `(wave l ength)/(timeperiod)`
Reason: Wavelength is the distance between two nearest particles in phase.

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
Velocity of wave `=("Distance travelled by wave"(lambda))/("Time period (T)")`
Wavelength is also defined as the distance between two nearest points in phase.
