Question
Assertion (A): According to Huygen’s principle, no backward wave-front is possible.
Reason (R): Amplitude of secondary wavelet is proportional to $(1+\cos \theta)$ where $\theta$ is the angle between the ray at the point of consideration and the direction of secondary wavelet.

Answer

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Assertion: Two electric bulbs of $50$ and $100$ watt are given. When connected in series $50$ watt bulb glows more but when connected in parallel $100$ watt bulb glows more.
Reason: In series combination, power is directly proportional to the resistance of circuit. But in parallel combination, power is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.

Assertion: An electric heater is heated first by direct and then by alternating currents. For both the currents, the potential difference across the ends of the heater is the same. The rate of production of heat will be different in two cases.
Reason: The resistance of a coil in altemating current will be more than the resistance of a coil in direct current, hence heat produced in case of direct current will be low.
Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions (A) and Reason(s) (R) have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
