NEET Physics Young's Double Slit Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): In Young's Double Slit experiment, the interference pattern can be explained using the wave nature of light. | Reason (R): A single narrow slit acts as a new source from which light spreads out due to diffraction.

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.
