Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The basic difference between various types of electromagnetic waves lies in their wavelength or frequencies.
Reason (R): Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum with the same speed.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
- (A) is true but (R) is false
- (A) is false but (R) is true
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Answer
(D) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
