Assertion:  Thin films such a soap bubble or a thin layer of oil on water show beautiful colours when illuminated by white light.

Reason:  It happens due to the interference of light reflected from upper surface of the thin film.

• If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

• If both the assertion is true but the reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.
