12th Class Physics EM Waves Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Electromagnetic Waves

  • question_answer
    Assertion (A): Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves having the smallest wavelength.
    Reason (R): Gamma rays are having the lowest frequency.

    A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

    B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true but R is false

    D) A is false and R is true

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Option [c] is correct. Explanation: Gamma rays are electromagnetic   waves having the smallest wavelength. So, the assertion is true. Relation between wavelength and frequency is \[\operatorname{v}=c/\lambda \]. c is the velocity of light and same for all electromagnetic waves. For Gamma rays wavelength being smallest, frequency will be highest. So, the reason is false.
