Assertion (A): Ultraviolet radiations is scattered more as compared to the microwave radiations.
Reason (R): Wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is more than the wavelength of microwave radiation.
Options
Both A and Rare true.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Both A and Rare false.

Solution
A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Because UV radiation has shorter wavelengths than microwave radiation, it scatters more.
