Question

Assertion (A): In interference and diffraction of light, light energy reduces in one region producing a dark fringe. It increases in another region and produces a bright fringe.

Reason (R): This happens because energy is not conserved in the phenomena of interference and diffraction.

Options

• If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• If Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

• If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.

Answer 1

If Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

Explanation:

Energy is conserved in interference and diffraction phenomena.
