11.Dual Nature of Radiation and matter
easy
Assertion : Mass of moving photon varies inversely as the wavelength.
Reason : Energy of the particle $= mass\times(speed \,of \,light)^2$
A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Solution
We know that for photon, $mv =\frac{h}{\lambda }$ mass varies inversely as the wavelength. For particle $E = mc^2, E$ is energy of particle if its mass is converted into energy. Both are uncorrelated.
