NEET Physics Question - Modern Physics

Assertion (A): A beam of charged particles is employed in the treatment of cancer.

Reason (R): Charged particles on passing through a material medium lose their energy by causing ionization of the atoms along their path.

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; charged particle therapy (e.g., proton therapy) is used for cancer. Reason (R) is true; charged particles lose energy mainly through ionization, creating a Bragg peak that can precisely damage tumor cells. (R) is the correct explanation for (A).
