NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Transverse waves can propagate in solids, liquids, and gases.
Reason (R): Transverse waves require a medium with shear modulus of elasticity.
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
Transverse waves can only propagate in media with shear modulus of elasticity, which excludes liquids and gases. Thus, the assertion is false, but the reason is true.
