NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection for plane waves. | Reason (R): This equality is a consequence of congruent triangles formed by incident and reflected wavefronts.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that the congruence of triangles formed by incident and reflected wavefronts proves the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
