Question

Statement I: In everyday life the Doppler's effect is observed readily for sound waves than light waves.
Statement II: Velocity of light is greater than that of sound.

• A. If both statements are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.
• B. If both statements are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I.
• C. If statement I is true but statement II is false.
• D. If both statements are false.

Answer: (B)

Doppler's effect is observed readily in sound wave due to larger wavelengths. The same is not the case with light due to shorter wavelength in everyday life.
