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.
