Assertion : Critical angle is maximum for end colour in water air system for visible light.

Reason: Because sin⁡θC=1μ\sin \theta_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{\mu} and μr\mu_{\mathrm{r}}, (refractive index of red colour) is minimum for visible light.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A (If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because the critical angle depends on the refractive index, which is minimum for red light, leading to a maximum critical angle.

Assertion: A concave mirror and convex lens both have the same focal length in air. When they are submerged in water, they will have same focal length.

Reason: The refractive index of water is smaller than the refractive index of air.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If the assertion and reason both are false.
Option D (If the assertion and reason both are false) is correct because the focal length of a mirror doesn't change in water, but the focal length of a lens does change, and the refractive index of water is greater than air.

Looking at the rear view mirror, the driver finds that the car following him is at distance of 100 m100 {~m} and is approaching with a speed of 5 km h−15 {~km} {~h}^{-1}. In order to keep track of the car in the rear, the driver begins to glance alternatively at the rear and side mirror of his car after every 2 s2 {~s} till the other car overtakes. If the two cars were maintaining their speeds, which of the following statement (s) is/are correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
In the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases.
The correct answer is that in the side mirror, the speed of the approaching car would appear to increase as the distance between the cars decreases. This is due to the changing relative position and perspective as the cars get closer.
