Assertion (A): Individual wave crests appear to vanish at the front of a wave group in deep water.
Reason (R): Crests travel at twice the speed of the group that contains them.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Both are true and the reason gives the kinematics, and crests appear at the rear and disappear at the front. The group as a whole carries the energy at the slower speed. Only the group velocity matters for energy transport.
