Question and options
Consider the following two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) :
When lightning strikes, the sound is heard a little after the flash is seen.
Reason (R):
The velocity of light is greater than that of the sound.
In the light of the given statements, choose the correct answer from the following options:
Assertion (A) :
When lightning strikes, the sound is heard a little after the flash is seen.
Reason (R):
The velocity of light is greater than that of the sound.
In the light of the given statements, choose the correct answer from the following options:
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
- (A) is true but (R) is false
- (A) is false but (R) is true
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Light travels far faster than sound (about 3x10^8 m/s against about 340 m/s), so the flash is seen before the thunder is heard. Both A and R are true and R correctly explains A.
