NEET Physics Question - Thermal Physics - Heat Transfer

Assertion (A): The land surfaces get heated and cooled quickly compared to oceans.

Reason (R): Land surfaces are practically opaque to solar radiation and only few inches of the ground is affected.

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:

Land has lower specific heat than water and absorbs solar radiation only at the surface, leading to rapid temperature changes. Water has high specific heat and radiation penetrates deeply. Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
