    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion: A red object appears dark in the yellow light. Reason: The red colour is scattered less.

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

    C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D) If both assertion and reason are false.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Red colour has the largest wavelength. A red object looks red because it reflects only red colour and absorbs all other colours present in the white light. Hence, when red object is seen through yellow light then it absorbs yellow colour falling on its and appears dark. This assertion has got nothing to do with scattering. Also from Rayleighs criteria of scattering. \[Scattering\propto =\frac{1}{{{(wave\,lenght)}^{4}}}\] Since red colour has a larger wavelength it is scattered least.
