Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: The electromagnetic wave exerts pressure on the surface on which they are allowed to fall.
Reason $(R)$: There is no mass associated with the electromagnetic waves.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • 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
