Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
X-rays are produced effectively when electrons strike the dense metal anode, called targets. These are not deflected by the electric and magnetic fields and have a very high penetrating power through the matter and that is the reason that these rays are used to study the interior of the objects.
These rays are of very short wavelengths (∼0.1 nm) and possess electro-magnetic character.
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
