NEET Physics Properties of EM Waves Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Gamma rays and radio waves both originate from accelerated charged particles.
Reason (R): The wavelength of electromagnetic waves is correlated with the characteristic size of the system that radiates them.
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
Gamma rays originate from atomic nuclei, not directly from accelerated charges. The reason correctly explains the correlation of wavelength with the size of the source.
