Question
Assertion : Like light radiations, thermal radiations are also electromagnetic radiation.
Reason : The thermal radiations require no medium for propagation.

Answer

(b) Light radiations and thermal radiations both belongs to electromagnetic spectrum. Light radiations belongs to visible region while thermal radiation belongs to infrared region of $E M$ spectrum. Also $E M$ radiations requires no medium for propagation.

Assertion : As the frictional force increases, the safe velocity limit for taking a turn on an unbanked road also increases.
Reason : Banking of roads will increase the value of limiting velocity.
Assertion : During a turn, the value of centripetal force should be less than the limiting frictional force.
Reason : The centripetal force is provided by the frictional force between the tyres and the road.
Assertion : Solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases.
Reason : For the propagation of transverse waves, medium must also neccessarly have the property of rigidity.
Assertion : When range of a projectile is maximum, its angle of projection may be $45^{\circ}$ or $135^{\circ}$.
Reason : Whether $\theta$ is $45^{\circ}$ or $135^{\circ}$, value of range remains the same, only the sign changes.
Assertion : Particle velocity and wave velocity both are independent of time.
Reason : For the propagation of wave motion, the medium must have the properties of elasticity and inertia.
Assertion : Two electric bulbs of 50 and $100 W$ are given. When connected in series $50 W$ bulb glows more but when connected parallel $100 W$ bulb glows more.
Reason : In series combination, power is directly proportional to the resistance of circuit. But in parallel combination, power is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.
Assertion : The shape of a liquid drop is spherical.
Reason : The pressure inside the drop is greater than that of outside.
Assertion : A beaker is completely filled with water at $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. It will overflow, both when heated or cooled.
Reason : There is expansion of water below and above $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
Assertion : If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, its total energy becomes four times.
Reason : The total energy is directly proportional to the square of amplitude of vibration of the harmonic oscillator.
Assertion : We can measure the potential barrier of a $P N$ junction by putting a sensitive voltmeter across its terminals.
Reason : The current through the $P N$ junction is not same in forward and reversed bias.
