Physics-Young's Double Slit
NEET Physics Young's Double Slit Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): In Young's double-slit experiment, the interference pattern is due to the superposition of light waves. | Reason (R): Interference is a phenomenon that occurs only with light waves and not with longitudinal waves like sound.
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 but R is true.
