Assertion: A pulsar is a source of radio waves that varies intensity at regular intervals.
Reason: A pulsar is a rotating neutron star.
Reason: A pulsar is a rotating neutron star.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both Assertion and reason are true and the reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.
Option A is correct because a pulsar is indeed a source of radio waves with regular intensity variations, and this is due to it being a rotating neutron star.

Statement I: Sound waves are not electromagnetic waves.
Statement II: Sound waves require a material medium for propagation. For a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in x-direction, which one of the following combination gives the correct possible directions for electric field and magnetic field respectively? Assertion: The relative velocity of two photons travelling in opposite directions is the velocity of light.
Reason: The rest mass of photon is zero Intensity of electromagnetic wave will be The rms value of the electric field of the light coming from the Sun is . The average total energy density of the electromagnetic wave is Methane is a greenhouse gas because
