Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect The time period of a simple pendulum is given by ,
T=2π√l/g
where l= effective length of simple pendulum ,
Hence , it is clear that time period depends on length of simple pendulum , so assertion is incorrect .
Now , time period of a simple pendulum is defined as the time taken by pendulum to complete one oscillation . Number of oscillations made by pendulum in one second is called its frequency .Hence reason is also incorrect .
