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.

    Assertion (A): Diffraction takes place with all types of waves. Reason (R): Diffraction is perceptible when the wavelength of the wave is comparable to the dimension of the diffracting device.

    Assertion: White fibres appear pale or whitish. Reason: White fibes (muscles) possess very less quannty of myoblin

    Assertion : Rainy clouds appear dark from below. Reason : There is not sufficient light which can be scattered by these clouds.

    Assertion :- In clear weather, sky appears to be blue not violet. Reason :- In clear atmosphere, light of shorter wavelength is scattered more as compared to light of longer wavelength

    Assertion : Blue colour of sky appears due to scattering of blue colour. Reason : Blue colour has shortest wave length in visible spectrum.
