NEET Physics Huygens Principle Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Huygens' principle explains the absence of backwaves in wavefront propagation.
Reason (R): The amplitude of secondary wavelets is assumed to be maximum in the forward direction and zero in the backward direction.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Huygens' principle assumes the amplitude of secondary wavelets is maximum forward and zero backward to explain the absence of backwaves, aligning with the assertion.
