Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the
options given below:
Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the
options given below:
(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.
(e) If assertion is false but reason is true.

1. Assertion : A red object appears dark in the yellow light

Reason : A red colour is scattered less

2. Assertion : The stars twinkle while the planets do not.

Reason : The stars are much bigger in size than the planets.

3. Assertion : Owls can move freely during night.

Reason : They have large number of rods on their retina.

4. Assertion : In a movie, ordinarily 24 frames are projected per second from one end to the
other of the complete film.

Reason : The image formed on retina of eye is sustained upto 1/10 second after the removal
of stimulus.

5. Assertion : Blue colour of sky appears due to scattering of blue colour.

Reason : Blue colour has shortest wave length in visible spectrum.

6. Assertion : The setting sun appears to be red.

Reason : Scattering of light is directly proportional to the wavelength.

7. Assertion : Different colours travel with different speed in vacuum.

Reason : Wavelength of light depends on refractive index of medium.

8. Assertion : The colour of the green flower seen through red glass appears to be dark.

Reason : Red glass transmits only red light.

9. Assertion : The focal length of the mirror is f and distance of the object from the focus is u,
the magnification of the mirror is f / u.

Reason : Magnification

10. Assertion : If a plane glass slab is placed on the letters of different colours all the letters
appear to be raised up to the same height.

Reason : Different colours have different wavelengths.

11. Assertion : The illumination of earth's surface from sun is more at noon than in the morning.

Reason : Luminance of a surface refers to brightness of the surface.

12. Assertion : When an object is placed between two plane parallel mirrors, then all the images
found are of equal intensity.

Reason : In case of plane parallel mirrors, only two images are possible.

13. Assertion : The mirrors used in search lights are parabolic and not concave spherical.

Reason : In a concave spherical mirror the image formed is always virtual.

14. Assertion : The size of the mirror affect the nature of the image.

Reason : Small mirrors always forms a virtual image.

15. Assertion : We cannot produce a real image by plane or convex mirrors under any
circumstances for real objects.

Reason : The focal length of a convex mirror is always taken as positive.

16. Assertion : The focal length of lens does not change when red light is replaced by blue light.

Reason : The focal length of lens does not depends on colour of light used.

17. Assertion : There is no dispersion of light refracted through a rectangular glass slab.

Reason : Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of a beam of white light into its
constituent colours.
