NEET Physics Question - Waves - Standing Wave in String and Organ Pipe

Assertion (A): The energy stored by a stationary wave is zero.

Reason (R): When two identical waves travelling in opposite directions superimpose, their whole energy is converted into heat.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Assertion (A) is false; a stationary wave stores energy, which oscillates between kinetic and potential forms.

Reason (R) is false; energy is not converted to heat but redistributed to form the stationary wave pattern.
