4. Assertion : Two persons on the surface of moon cannot talk to each other.
Reason : There is no atmosphere on moon.
5. Assertion : The speed of sound in solids is maximum though their density is large.
Reason : The coefficient of elasticity of solid is large.
6. Assertion : Sound waves are characterised by the motion of particles in the medium and are called
mechanical waves.
Reason : Air is the most common medium through which sound travels.
