Vedclass · Answer

(B) Radio waves are electromagnetic waves,which are transverse in nature. Only transverse waves can be polarized. Therefore,the Assertion is correct.Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves,which cannot be polarized. Therefore,the Reason is also correct.However,the fact that sound waves are longitudinal does not explain why radio waves can be polarized. Thus,the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Assertion : Radio waves can be polarised.
Reason : Sound waves in air are longitudinal in nature.
