NEET Physics Young's Double Slit Assertion Reason Question
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.
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 demonstrates the wave nature of light by showing an interference pattern; this pattern arises because light spreads out from slits due to diffraction, as mentioned in the NCERT context.
