Question
For question two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion (A): In Young's double slit experiment the two slits are at distance d apart. Interference pattern is observed on a screen at distance D from the slits. At a point on the screen when it is directly opposite to one of the slits, a dark fringe is observed. Then the wavelength of wave is proportional to square of distance of two slits.
Reason (R): For a dark fringe intensity is zero.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

For case when dark fringe is observed opposite to one of the slit.

Here S1P = D and S2P $=\sqrt{\text{D}^2+\text{d}^2}=\text{D}\Big[1+\frac{\text{d}^2}{2\text{D}^2}\Big]$

Path difference $=\text{S}_2\text{P}-\text{S}_1\text{P}=\frac{\text{d}^2}{2\text{D}}=\frac{\lambda}{2}$ or, $\lambda=\frac{\text{d}^2}{\text{D}}$.

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.
