Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): Wave of wavelength 50 cm is propagating on a string. The phase difference between two points separated by 5 cm is 0.2 π radian.

Reason (R): Phase difference = (2π/λ)x, where is the path difference.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. (A) is true but (R) is false
  2. (A) is false but (R) is true
  3. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  4. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Answer

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