NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): Transverse waves can propagate in solids, liquids, and gases. | Reason (R): Transverse waves require a medium with shear modulus of elasticity.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
