NEET Physics Reflection Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection for light reflecting off a smooth surface.
Reason (R): In total internal reflection, light is completely reflected with no transmission, and this occurs when light moves from a denser to a rarer medium at an angle greater than the critical angle.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as it describes the law of reflection. The reason is also true but explains total internal reflection, not the law of reflection.
