Question

Assertion (A): Electromagnetic wave are transverse in nature Reason (R): The electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to each other and the direction of propagation A) Both assertion and reason are correct reason supports assertion. B) Both assertion and reason are correct, reason doesn't support assertion. C Both assertion and reason is incorrect Dj Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect​

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to the perpendicular directions of the electric and magnetic fields to each other and also to the direction of propagation of the wave, the electromagnetic wave is transverse in nature. Therefore, the assertion and reason given are both correct and reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
