Assertion: In everyday life to Doppler's effect is observed readily for sound waves than light waves.
Reason: Velocity of light is greater than that of sound.

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
Doppler’s effect is observed readily in sound wave due to larger wavelengths. The same is not the case with light due to shorter wavelength in every day life
