JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves

Given below are two statement: one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R.\) Assertion \(A:\) \(EM\) waves used for optical communication have longer wavelengths than that of microwave, employed in Radar technology. Reason \(R\) : Infrared \(EM\) waves are more energetic than microwaves, (used in Radar) In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
  2. B \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
  3. C Both \(A\) and \(R\) true but \(R\) is \(NOT\) the correct explanation of \(A\)
  4. D Both \(A\) and \(R\) true and \(r\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Optical communication is performed in the frequency range of \(1\,THz\) to \(1000\,THz\). (Microwave to \(UV\)) So,\(EM\) waves used for optical communication have shorter wavelength than that of microwaves used in \(RADAR.\) Also,…
