The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements A and R regarding wavefronts and their behavior when passing through a convex lens and reflecting off a concave mirror, we need to evaluate each statement separately. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement A**: - Statement A claims that "the geometrical shape of the wave front when a wavefront passes through a convex lens will be again a plane wave front." - When a plane wavefront passes through a convex lens, it converges to a point after passing through the lens. This means that the wavefront changes from a plane wavefront to a spherical wavefront as it converges. Therefore, Statement A is **False**. 2. **Understanding Statement R**: - Statement R claims that "when a plane wave front is reflected by a concave mirror, it remains as a plane wavefront." - When a plane wavefront strikes a concave mirror, it reflects and converges to a focal point, creating a spherical wavefront after reflection. Thus, the wavefront does not remain plane; it changes to a spherical wavefront. Therefore, Statement R is also **False**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Both statements A and R are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both A and R are false. ---
