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 can travel in vacuum whereas sound cannot do so.
Reason: Light has an electromagnetic wave nature whereas sound is mechanical wave.
✓

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Light being electromagnetic wave do not require any material medium for its propagation. Hence light can travel in vacuum. On the other hand sound is a mechanical wave and requires a material medium for its propagation. Hence sound cannot travel in vacuum.
