NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): If two sinusoidal waves with the same amplitude and frequency travel in the same direction but have a phase difference, they interfere to form a wave with a different frequency. | Reason (R): The principle of superposition states that the resultant displacement in a medium is the sum of displacements due to individual waves.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Assertion is false because the resultant wave has the same frequency when two waves interfere with a phase difference, not a different frequency. The Reason is true as per the principle of superposition.
