Assertion : The clouds in the sky generally appear to be whitish.
Reason : Diffraction due to clouds is efficient in equal measures its all wavelengths.

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 a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If both, Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
( c)
Here, Assertion is true but the reason is false. Whitish colour of cloud is due to the fact that all the colours of light are equally scattered by the droplets in the clouds. Hence, assertion is true but reason is false.
