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: The light travelling from air to glass can not suffer total internal reflection.
Reason: Air is rarer than glass.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
The light travelling from air to glass cannot suffer total internal reflection because for total internal reflection, the essential condition is that light should travel from a denser medium to a rarer medium with incidence angle more than the critical angle.
