Question
Assertion : Microwave communication is preferred over optical communication.
Reason : Microwaves provide large number of channels and band width compared to optical signals.
✓

Answer

(a) Microwave communication is preferred over optical communication because microwaves provide large number of channels and wider band width compared to optical signals as information carrying capacity is directly proportional to band width. So, wider the band width, greater the information carrying capacity.
