Optics Question 24

Question: Assertion : Within a glass slab, a double convex air bubble is formed. This air bubble behaves like a converging lens. Reason : Refractive index of air is more than the refractive index of glass.

Options:

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.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:
