NEET Physics Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a longitudinal wave, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Reason (R): In a longitudinal wave, the angular frequency is determined by the number of oscillations per second.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as longitudinal waves have displacements parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The reason is false because angular frequency is determined by the time period of one oscillation, not the number of oscillations per second.
