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

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       When a tiny circular obstacle is placed in the path of light from some distance, a bright spot is seen at the centre of shadow of the obstacle. Reason                 :   Destructive interference occurs at the centre of the shadow.                         [AIIMS 2002]

    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: C

    Solution :

                As the waves diffracted from the edges of circular obstacle, placed in the path of light interfere constructively at the centre of the shadow resulting in the formation of a bright spot.
