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): Laser is used to measure distant object like moon.
Reason (R): They are highly coherent source of light.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

As laser is highly monochromatic and highly coherent, we can send as a laser beam to the moon, from where it comes back reflected without much loss of intensity. That's why the large distances can be measured accurately with the help of laser.

Assertion: A double convex lens $(\mu = 1.5)$ has focal length 10cm. When the lens is immersed in water $\big(\mu=\frac{4}{3}\big)$ its focal length becomes 78.24cm.
Reason: $\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{\mu_\text{g}-\mu_\text{m}}{\mu_\text{m}}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{R}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{R}_2}\Big).$
