NEET Physics Question - Wave Optics

Assertion (A): Sound waves in air cannot be polarised.

Reason (R): Polarisation is the characteristic of light wave only.

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; sound waves in air are longitudinal waves and cannot be polarized. Reason (R) is false; polarization is a property of all transverse waves, not exclusively light waves.
