JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 12th April Morning Shift - No. 4)
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $$\mathbf{A}$$ and the other is labelled as Reason $$\mathbf{R}$$
Assertion A : EM waves used for optical communication have longer wavelengths than that of microwave, employed in Radar technology.
Reason R : Infrared EM waves are more energetic than microwaves, (used in Radar)
In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Both $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $$\mathrm{R}$$ are true but $$\mathrm{R}$$ is NOT the correct explanation of $$\mathrm{A}$$
$$\mathrm{A}$$ is true but $$\mathrm{R}$$ is false
Both $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $$\mathrm{R}$$ are true and $$\mathrm{r}$$ is the correct explanation of $$\mathrm{A}$$
$$\mathrm{A}$$ is false but $$\mathrm{R}$$ is true
Explanation
Optical communication is performed in the frequency range of $1 \mathrm{THz}$ to $1000 \mathrm{THz}$.
(Microwave to UV)
So, EM waves used for optical communication have shorter wavelength than that of microwaves used in RADAR.
Also, $U_{\text {INFRARED }}>U_{\text {MICROWAVE }}$
$\therefore$ Infrared EM waves are more energetic than microwave
