  • Assertion : Bending of light rays from its original path at the interface of the two media is called 'Refraction'. Reason : Whenever the light travels from denser medium to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal.

    A
    Both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
    B
    Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
