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 explaination of the Assertion.

B

If both, Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explaination 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 withish 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 : Productivity generally increases from polar regions toward the tropics. Reason : It is due to increasing sunlight and temperature toward the tropics.

Assertion (A): The blue colour of the sky is due to Ray light scattering Reason (R): As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through.

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.
