Assertion: The periodic time of a hard spring is less as compared to that of a soft spring. Reason: The periodic time depends upon the spring constant, which is large for hard spring.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
The time period of a oscillating spring is given by, T=2 m k i.e. T 1 k . Since the spring constant is large for hard spring, therefore hard spring has a less periodic time as compared to soft spring.
