Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. The relationship between the wavelength of a moving photon and its mass is λ=hmu. The above equation is rearranged to obtain ∴m∝1λ.
Thus, Mass of moving photon varies inversely with wavelength.
The relationship between the energy of particle wave and the mass is given by the Einstein's relationship.
Energy of particle wave =mass×(speedoflight)2 or E=mc2
Thus, Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
