Question
Assertion : Reversible systems are difficult to find in real world.
Reason : Most processes are dissipative in nature

Answer

(a) In a perfectly reversible system, there is no loss of energy. Losses can be minimised, friction can be reduced, the resistance in L-C oscillating system can also be negligible. But one cannot completely eliminate energy losses. This makes a perfectly reversible system, an ideal.

Assertion : The rate of change of total momentum of a many particle system is proportional to the sum of the internal forces of the system.
Reason : Internal forces can change the kinetic energy but not the momentum of the system.
Assertion : The internal energy of an isothermal process does not change.
Reason : The internal energy of a system depends only on pressure of the system.
Assertion : Transverse waves are not produced in liquids and gases.
Reason : light waves are transverse waves.
Assertion : Velocity of particles, while crossing mean position (in stationary waves) varies from maximum at antinodes to zero at nodes.
Reason : Amplitude of vibration at antinodes is maximum and at nodes, the amplitude is zero, And all particles between two successive nodes cross the mean position together.
Assertion : An inductance and a resistance are connected in series with an ac circuit. In this circuit the current and the potential difference across the resistance lag behind potential difference across the inductance by an angle $\pi / 2$.
Reason : In $L R$ circuit voltage leads the current by phase angle which depends on the value of inductance and resistance both.
