Question
Two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion: Light is a transverse wave but not an electromagnetic wave.
Reason: Maxwell showed that speed of electromagnetic waves is related to the permittivity of the medium through which it travels.

Answer

  1. A is false and R is also false.
Explanation:
The speed of em waves in free space is given by $\text{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0\epsilon_0}}.$
Where $\mu_0=4\pi\times10^{-7}\text{N}\frac{\text{s}^2}{\text{C}^2}$ is penneability constant of vacuum and $\epsilon_0=8.85419\times10^{-12}\frac{\text{C}^2}{\text{N}}\text{m}^2$ is the permittivity of free space. After substituting these value, the value of $\text{c}=\big(2.99792\times10^8\frac{\text{m}^2}{\text{s}}\big)$ which is same as the speed of light in vacuum. From this it is concluded that light is an electromagnetic wave.

For question two statements are given-one labelled Assertion $(A) $ and the other labelled Reason $(R).$ Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $(a), (b), (c)$ and $(d)$ as given below. Assertion $(A)$: Two point coherent sources of light $S_1$ and $S_2$ are placed on a line as shown. $ P$ and $Q$ are two points on that line.
