Assertion: In calculating the disturbance produced by a pair of superimposed incoherent wave trains, you can add their intensities.
 Reason: \(I_{R}=I_{1}+I_{2}+2 \sqrt{I_{1} I_{2}} \cos \Delta \theta\) The average value of \(\cos \Delta \theta=0\) for incoherent waves.

  2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  3. If assertion is true but reason is false.
