NEET Physics Young's Double Slit Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Young's double slit experiment demonstrates the principle of superposition of waves.
Reason (R): The interference pattern formed in Young's experiment is due to the constructive and destructive interference of light waves.
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
Young's double slit experiment illustrates the interference of amplitudes from different sources, which is a demonstration of the principle of superposition as shown by constructive and destructive interference patterns.
