Solution
The correct option is A Statement 1 is True and Statement 2 is True and is correct explanation of Statement 1. Shadows are formed due to diffraction
Diffraction of sound is negligible. So sound shadows are not well defined as the light shadows. Diffraction will be more if the wavelength is less. Since wavelength of sound is larger, diffraction is lesser in sound than light.
