Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Air bubbles shine in water due to total internal reflection, Total internal reflection is a special case of refraction when light passes from denser medium (water) to rarer medium (air inside the bubble) and angle of incidence dis more than the critical angle. So, the reason is also true. The reason also explains the assertion properly.
