AIIMS2007PhysicsElectromagnetic Waves
Assertion : Dipole oscillations produce electromagnetic waves. Reason : Accelerated charge produces electromagnetic waves.
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
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
Assertion is true. The reason is also true according to the classical theory of Maxwell. The dipole oscillation gives radiation because the charges are accelerated. (Any oscillation has acceleration).
