NEET Physics Question - Wave Optics

Assertion (A): Diffraction is a sure indication of wave nature.

Reason (R): Only transverse waves can be diffracted.

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:

Diffraction, the bending of waves around obstacles, is a hallmark of wave phenomena, so (A) is true. However, both transverse waves (like light) and longitudinal waves (like sound) can be diffracted, making (R) false.
