NEET Physics Question - Modern Physics

Assertion (A): Bohr postulates that the electrons in stationary orbits around the nucleus do not radiate.

Reason (R): According to classical physics all moving electrons radiate.

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:

Bohr's first postulate (A) states that electrons in stationary orbits do not radiate energy. This postulate was introduced to address the classical physics problem (R) where accelerating charged particles, like orbiting electrons, should continuously radiate energy.

Thus, both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) provides the underlying classical paradox that Bohr's postulate (A) resolved.
