Question

Assertion :  For best contrast between maxima and minima in the interference pattern of Young’s double slit experiment, the intensity of light emerging out of the two slits should be equal.

Reason     : The intensity of interference pattern is proportional to square of amplitude.

(a) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.

(d) If the assertion and reason both are false.

Answer

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
