NEET Physics Question - Thermal Physics - Heat Transfer

Assertion (A): Snow is better insulator than ice.

Reason (R): Snow contain air packet and air is bad conductor of 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

Snow traps air, making it a poor conductor of heat. Air is a bad conductor, hence snow acts as a better insulator than solid ice.
