Assertion: Sound waves cannot travel in vacuum but light can travel in vacuum.
Reason: Sound waves are longitudinal waves and they cannot be polarised but electromagnetic waves are transverse and they can be polarised.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
