NEET Physics Question - Wave Optics - Young's Double Slit Experiment

Assertion (A): Diffraction is a sure indication of wave nature.

Reason (R): Only transverse waves can be diffracted.

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

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true; diffraction is a characteristic property of all waves. Reason (R) is false; both transverse (e.g., light) and longitudinal (e.g., sound) waves can be diffracted.
