Dual Nature Of Light Question 5
Question: Assertion : Mass of moving photon varies inversely as the wavelength. Reason : Energy of the particle $ =\text{ Mass }\times \text{ (Speed of light}{{)}^{2}} $ [AIIMS 2000]
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
