Assertion: A ray incident along normal to the mirror retraces its path.
Reason: In reflection, angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection.


Important Questions on Ray Optics
Assertion: The frequencies of incident, reflected and refracted beam of monochromatic light incident from one medium to another are same.
Reason: The incident, reflected and refracted rays are coplanar.

Assertion: A convex lens of glass behave as a diverging lens when immersed in carbon disulphide of higher refractive index .
Reason: A convex lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges.

Assertion: The twinkling of stars is due to the refraction of light.
Reason: The velocity of light changes while going from one medium to the other.

Assertion: The diamond shines due to multiple total internal reflections.
Reason: The critical angle for diamond is .

Assertion: There is no dispersion of light refracted through a rectangular glass slab.
Reason: Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of a beam of white light into its constituent colours.

Assertion: The blue colour of the sky is on account of the scattering of sunlight.
Reason: If the size of scatterer particles is very much smaller than the wavelength then, The intensity of scattered light varies inversely as the fourth power of wavelength of light.

Assertion : The Sun looks reddish at the time of sunrise and sunset because of scattering of light.
Reason : The wavelength of red colour is more than the wavelength of blue colour.

Assertion : A secondary rainbow have inverted colours than the primary rainbow.
Reason : The secondary rainbow is formed by single total internal reflection.
