• 10 Assertion and Reason

Type questions

Solution with explanation


• Directions. In the following questions, statement

of assertion is followed by a statement of

reason. While answering a question, you are

required to choose the correct one out of the

given four responses and mark it as :-

• A, if both assertion and reason are true and

reason is the correct explanation of the

assertion.

• B, if both assertion and reason are true but

reason is not correct explanation of the

assertion.

• C, if assertion is true, but reason is false.

• D, if both assertion and reason are false.


1) Assertion : Corpuscular theory fails in

explaining the velocities of light in air and

water.

Reason : According to corpuscular

theory, light should travel faster in denser

media than in rarer media.

1) A.     2) B

3) C.     4) D


2) Assertion : In young’s double slit

experiment, the fringe width for dark fringes

is different from that for white fringes.

Reason : In young’s double slit

experiment performed with a source of

white light, only black and bright fringes are

observed.

1. A.      2. B

3. C.      4. D


3)Assertion : No interference pattern

is observed, when two coherent sources

are infinitely close to each other.

Reason : The fringe width is inversely

proportional to the distance between

the two slits.

1) A.       2) B

3) C.       4) D


4) Assertion : In young’s double slit

experiment, the fringe width for dark

fringes is equal to that for white fringes .

Reason : In young’s double slit

experiment performed with a source of

white light, only black and white fringes

are observed.

1) A.     2) B

3) C.     4) D


5) Assertion : In young’s double slit

experiment, the two slits are at distance d apart.

Interference pattern is observed on the screen.

When it is directly opposite to one of the slits, a

dark fringe is observed. Then, the wavelength of

the wave is proportional to the square of the

distance of the slits.

Reason : For a dark fringe, the intensity is

zero.

1) A      2) B

3) C      4) D


6) Assertion : Coloured spectrum is seen,

when we look through a muslin cloth.

Reason : It is due to the diffraction of white

light on passing through fine slits.

1) A.       2) B

3) C.       4) D


7) 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 the shadow of the obstacle.

Reason : Destructive interference

occurs at the centre of the shadow.

1) A.       2) B

3) C.       4) D


8) 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.

1) A.    2) B

3) C.    4) D 


9) Assertion : For best contrast between

maxima and minima in the interference

pattern of Young’s double slit experiment,

the intensity of emerging out of the two slits

should be equal.

Reason : The intensity of interference

pattern is proportional to square of

amplitude.

1) A.    2) B

3) C.    4) D


10) Assertion : Interference pattern

is made by using blue light instead of

red light, the fringes becomes narrower

Reason: In Young’s double slit

experiment, fringe width is given by

relation B = Lambda D/d

1) A

2) B

3) C

4) D

11) Assertion : The rainbow is seen

something in the sky, when it is raining.

When one sees a rainbow, one’s back is

towards the sun.

Reason : Internal reflection from water

droplet causes dispersion. The final ray is

in the backward direction.

1) A        2) B

3) C        4) D


12) Assertion : The air bubble shines

in water.

Reason : It is because of refraction of

light.

1) A.        2) B

3) C.        4) D


13) Assertion : A double convex lens

(n=1.5) has focal length 10cm. When the

lens is immersed in water(n=4/3) its

focal length becomes 40cm.

Reason: Because,

1/f = ( n2/n1 - 1) ( 1/R1 - 1/R2)

1) A.           2) B

3) C.           4) D


14) Assertion : Critical angle of light

passing from glass to air is minimum for

violet colour.

Reason : The wavelength of blue light is

greater than the light of other colours

1) A

2) B

3) C

4) D


15) Assertion : The images formed by

total internal reflections are much brighter

than those formed by mirror or lenses.

Reason : There is no loss of intensity in

total internal reflection.

1) A

2) B

3) C

4) D


16) Assertion : The focal length of

lens does not change when red light is

replaced by blue light.

Reason: The focal length of lens does

not depends on colour of light used.

1) A

2) B

3) C

4) D


17) Assertion : By increasing the

diameter of the objective of telescope,

we can increase its range.

Reason: The range of a telescope tells

us how far away a star of some standard

brightness can be spotted by telescope.

1) A

2) B

3) C

4) D


18) Assertion: If objective and eye

lenses of a microscope are

interchanged then it can work as

telescope.

Reason: The objective of telescope

has small focal length.

1) A

2) B

3) C

4) D


19) Assertion : If the angles of the base of

the prism are equal, then in the position of

minimum deviation,the refracted ray will pass

parallel to the base of prism.

Reasons : In the case of minimum

deviation,the angle of incidence is equal to

the angle if emergence.

1) A.         2) B

3) C.         4) D


20) Assertion : The refractive index of

a prism depends only on the kind of glass

of which it is made of and the colour of

light.

prism does not depend on wavelength of

light.

3) C.          4) D
