MCQ
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as
Assertion (A) and other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Electromagnetic waves carry energy but not momentum.
Reason (R): Mass of a photon is zero.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
  • A
    (A) is true but (R) is false.
  • (A) is false but (R) is true.
  • C
    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • D
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Answer

Correct option: B.
(A) is false but (R) is true.
(B)
Sol. Assertion is false because em waves have momentum.
