- Two statements are given one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer from the codes (A), (B), (C) and (D) as given below.
Assertion (A): X-rays are produced when slow moving electrons are stopped by a metal target of high atomic number.
Reason (R): X-rays consist of low-energy photons. - A source produces monochromatic light of frequency \( 5.0 \times 10^{14} \, \text{Hz} \) and the power emitted is 3.31 mW. The number of photons emitted per second by the source, on an average, is:
