Answer: B

Following questions consists of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
A. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
B. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
C. Assertion is true but reason is false.
D. Assertion is false and reason is true.

Question. Assertion(A): The red light bends the least while the violet bends the most.
Reason(R): Red light has short wavelength whereas violet has long wavelength.

Answer: C

Question. Assertion(A): The Sun appears flattened at sunrise and sunset.
Reason (R): The apparent flattering of the Sun’s disc at sunrise and sunset is due to atmospheric refraction.

Answer: A

Question. Assertion (A): The twinkling of stars is due to the fact that refractive index of the earth’s atmosphere fluctuates.
Reason (R): In cold countries, the phenomenon of looming (i.e ship appears in the sky) takes place, because refractive index of air decreases with height

Answer: B

Question. Assertion(A) : Just before sunset ,the sun appears to be elliptical. this may happen due to refraction
Reason (R) : Refraction of light rays through atmosphere may cause different magnification in mutually perpendicular directions.

Answer: A
