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: Infrared waves sometimes referred as heat waves.
Reason: Infrared waves heat up the earth surface.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

Infrared waves are sometimes called heat waves. This is because water molecules present in most materials readily absorb infrared waves. After absorption, their thermal motion increases, that is, they heat up and heat their surroundings.
