Assertion (A): Shining of diamond is due to the phenomenon of total internal reflection

Reason (R): Refractive index of diamond is large. hence critical angle is small.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

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

Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because the shining of a diamond is due to total internal reflection, and the high refractive index of diamond leads to a small critical angle, facilitating total internal reflection.
