NEET Physics Refraction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): For angles of incidence greater than the critical angle, Snell's law of refraction cannot be satisfied.
Reason (R): The refractive index of a denser medium with respect to a rarer medium is given by the reciprocal of the sine of 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
Both statements are true, and the reason explains that for angles greater than the critical angle, Snell's law fails because the refractive index and the critical angle are related.
