Reason:  According to classical physics all moving electrons radiate.

  • if both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

  • if both assertion and reason are false statements


B.

if both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

According to classical physics, all moving charged particle radiate electromagnetic radiation. So moving electrons will also radiate energy. If we see the atomic structure we find that electrons revolve around the nucleus in some particular orbits. Bohr termed these orbits as the stationary orbits as the electrons do not radiate energy as long as they are moving in these orbits. This is one of Bohr's postulates. This postulate is based on the fact that if the moving electrons radiate thereby losing energy, they have got a chance to finally fall back onto the nucleus and the atom will be collapsed.
