Question
Given below are two statement: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R.$

Assertion $A:$ $EM$ waves used for optical communication have longer wavelengths than that of microwave, employed in Radar technology.

Reason $R$ : Infrared $EM$ waves are more energetic than microwaves, (used in Radar)

In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer

Optical communication is performed in the frequency range of $1\,THz$ to $1000\,THz$.

(Microwave to $UV$)

So,$EM$ waves used for optical communication have shorter wavelength than that of microwaves used in $RADAR.$

Also, $v_{\text {INFRARED }}>v_{\text {MICROWAVE }}$

$\therefore$ Infrared $EM$ waves are more energetic than microwave
