The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze the two statements: Assertion A and Reason R. **Assertion A:** "EM waves used for optical communication have longer wavelengths than that of microwaves employed in Radar technology." **Reason R:** "Infrared EM waves are more energetic than microwaves (used in Radar)." ### Step 1: Analyze Assertion A - **Understanding EM Waves:** Electromagnetic (EM) waves encompass a wide range of wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays. - **Wavelength Comparison:** Optical communication typically uses light waves, which are in the visible spectrum (approximately 400 nm to 700 nm). Microwaves, used in radar technology, have longer wavelengths (about 1 mm to 1 m). - **Conclusion on Assertion A:** Since the wavelengths of microwaves are indeed longer than those used in optical communication, Assertion A is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze Reason R - **Understanding Energy of EM Waves:** The energy of electromagnetic waves is inversely proportional to their wavelength. This means that shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy. - **Wavelengths of Infrared and Microwaves:** Infrared waves have shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Therefore, infrared waves are indeed more energetic than microwaves. - **Conclusion on Reason R:** Reason R is **true**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason - **Assertion A is False:** Since Assertion A is false, it cannot be supported by Reason R, regardless of the truth of Reason R. - **Reason R is True:** Reason R is true but does not explain Assertion A. ### Final Conclusion - **Both statements are evaluated:** Assertion A is false, and Reason R is true. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. ### Answer The correct option is: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. ---
