B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If both Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided: ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that when a glass slab is placed between Ram and Anoop, Ram appears to be nearer to Anoop than he actually is. This phenomenon occurs due to the refraction of light as it passes through the glass slab. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason given is that the ray of light starting from Ram undergoes two times refraction before reaching Anoop. This is indeed true because light refracts when it enters and exits the glass slab. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Refraction When light travels from a medium of lower refractive index (air) to a medium of higher refractive index (glass), it bends towards the normal. When it exits the glass slab back into air, it bends away from the normal. 1. **First Refraction**: As light enters the glass slab, it bends towards the normal. 2. **Second Refraction**: As light exits the glass slab, it bends away from the normal. ### Step 4: Lateral Shift The overall effect of these two refractions results in a lateral shift of the light rays. This shift makes Ram appear closer to Anoop than he actually is. The apparent position of Ram is shifted towards Anoop due to the bending of light. ### Step 5: Conclusion While both the assertion and reason are true, the reason does not correctly explain why Ram appears nearer to Anoop. The appearance of Ram being closer is due to the lateral shift caused by the refraction of light through the glass slab, not merely because the light undergoes two refractions. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. ---

Assertion : Newton's rings are formed in the reflected system. When the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refractive index greater than that of glass, the central spot of the pattern is bright. Reason : This is because the reflections in these cases will be from a denser to a rarer medium and the two interfering rays are reflected under similar conditions.

A ray of light travelling with a speed c leaves point 1 shown in figure and is reflected to point 2. The ray strikes the reflecting surface at a distance x from point 1. According to Fermat's principle of least time, among all possible paths between two points , the one actually taken by a ray of light is that for which the time taken is the least (In fact there are some cases in which the time taken by a ray is maximum rather than a minimum). Find the time for the ray to reach from point 1 to point 2.
