Assertion: The temperature of the surface of the sun is approximately `6000 K`. If we take a big lens and focus the sun rays, we can produce a temperature at `8000 K`
Reason: This highest temperature can be produced according to second law of thermodynamics.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

According to second law of thermodynamics, this is not possible to transfer heat from a body at lower temperature to a body at higher temperature without the aid of an external agent. Since, the given information produces a contradiction in second law of thermodynamics, therefore it is not possible to produce temperature of 8000 K by collecting the sun rays with a lens.
