A mechanical progressive plane harmonic wave is given by \(y=A \sin (\omega t-k x)\).
STATEMENT - 1 (Assertion): The medium must have elasticity and inertia to propagate the above wave
STATEMENT - 2 (Reason): The energy of a particle in the medium keeps on changing between elastic potential energy and kinetic energy.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Which of the following is correct?
- Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is a correct explanation for Assertion
- Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is NOT a correct explanation for Assertion
- Assertion is incorrect, Reason is correct
- Both are incorrect
Answer
(B) Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is NOT a correct explanation for Assertion
