NEET Physics Wave Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive points having the same phase. | Reason (R): In a sinusoidal wave, the wavelength is given by the formula .
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
According to Chunk 3, wavelength is the minimum distance between two points having the same phase, and is given by , thus R explains A.
