Assertion: The clouds in sky generally appear to be whitish.
Reason: Diffraction due to clouds is efficient in equal measure at all wavelengths.

Sodium lamps are used in foggy conditions because
yellow light is scattered less by the fog particles
yellow light is scattered more by the fog particles
yellow light is unaffected during its passage through the fog
wavelength of yellow light is the mean of the visible one
A monochromatic beam of light is used for the formation of fringes on the screen by illuminating the two slits in the Young's double slit interference experiment. When a thin film of mica is interposed in the path of one of the interfering beams then
the fringe width increases
the fringe width decreases
the fringe width remains the same but the pattern shifts
the fringe pattern disappears
C.
the fringe width remains the same but the pattern shifts
The presence of thin mica in the path of one of the interfering beams changes only the path difference between the beams due to which the pattern shifts upwards. But the fringe width remains the same. As monochromatic light is used, one cannot make out which is the central shift as all the fringes are having the same colour and intensity.
When a compact disc is illuminated by a source of white light, coloured lines are observed. This is due to
dispersion
diffraction
interference
refraction
Assertion: At the first glance, the top surface of the Morpho butterfly's wing appears a beautiful blue-green. If the wing moves the colour changes.
Reason: Different pigments in the wing reflect light at different angles.

Assertion: A famous painting was painted by not using brush strokes in the usual manner, but rather a myriad of small colour dots. In this painting the colour you see at any given place on the painting changes as you move away.
Reason: The angular separation of adjacent dots changes with the distance from the painting.

When a beam of light is used to determine the position of an object, the maximum accuracy is achieved if the light is
polarised
of longer wavelength
of shorter wavelength
of high intensity
A double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength 500 nm. A thin film of thickness 2 μm and refractive index 1.5 is introduced in the path of the upper beam. The location of central maximum will
remain unshifted
shift downward by nearly two fringes
shift upward by nearly two fringes
shift downward by 10 fringes
Assertion: The stars twinkle while the planets do not.
Reason: The stars are much bigger in size than the planets.
