Assertion: A red object appears dark in ...

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 truw but reason is not correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

A red object reflects red colour from a light falling on it.Thus when this object is viewed in yellow light then it absorbs all yellow light falling on it and appears dark.From Rayleigh's scattering is invesely proportinal to `gamma^(4)`.Red colour has largest wavelength,therefore this colour is scrattered least as compared to other colours.
