Assertion (A): Schlieren and shadowgraph give the same information about a flow.

Reason (R): Both techniques respond to variations in the density of the gas.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: C

The assertion is false and the reason is true. Both do respond to density variation, but schlieren responds to the first derivative and shadowgraph to the second, so a shock appears as a line in one and as a light-dark pair in the other. They are complementary rather than equivalent.
