Question
Assertion : A $P-N$ photodiode is made from a semiconductor for which $E=2.8 eV$. This photo diode will not detect the wavelength of $6000 nm$.
Reason : A $P N$ photodiode detect wavelength $\lambda$ if $\frac{h c}{\lambda}>E_g$.

Assertion : A kinetic energy of a body is quadrupled, when its velocity is doubled.
Reason : Kinetic energy is proportional to square of velocity.
Assertion : Two bodies at different temperatures, if brought in thermal contact do not necessary settle to the mean temperature.
Reason : The two bodies may have different thermal capacities.
Assertion : A body may be accelerated even when it is moving uniformly.
Reason : When direction of motion of the body is changing then body may have acceleration.
Assertion : Silicon is preferred over germanium for making semiconductor devices.
Reason : The energy gap for germanium is more than the energy gap of silicon.
Assertion : The surface wave propagation is used for medium wave band and for television broadcasting.
Reason : The surface waves travel directly from transmitting antenna to receiver antenna through atmosphere.
Assertion : The alternating current lags behind the e.m.f. by a phase angle of $\pi / 2$, when ac flows through an inductor.
Reason : The inductive reactance increases as the frequency of ac source decreases.
Assertion : For the planets orbiting around the sun, angular speed, linear speed, K.E. changes with time, but angular momentum remains constant.
Reason : No torque is acting on the rotating planet. So its angular momentum is constant.
Assertion : A metal piece and a non-metal (stone) piece are dropped from the same height near earth's surface. Both will reach the earth's surface simultaneously.
Reason : There is no effect of earth's magnetic field on freely falling body.
Assertion : Heavy water is used as moderator in nuclear reactor.
Reason : Water cool down the fast neutron.
