JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       Transverse waves travel through air in an organ pipe. Reason                 :       Air possesses only volume elasticity.

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

                Since transverse wave can propagate through medium which posses elasticity of shape. Air posses only volume elasticity therefore transverse wave cannot propagate through air.
