JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       When a light wave travels from a rarer to a denser medium, it loses speed. The reduction in speed imply a reduction in energy carried by the light wave. Reason                 :   The energy of a wave is proportional to velocity of wave.

    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.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    When a light wave travel from a rarer to a denser medium it loses speed, but energy carried by the wave does not depend on its speed. Instead, it depends on the amplitude of wave.
