MCQ
Assertion : Coloured spectrum is seen when we look through a muslin cloth.

Reason : It is due to the diffraction of white light on passing through fine slits

  • both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: A.
both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
a
Porous muslin cloth has holes comparable to the wavelength of light falling on it. So, it get diffracted there forming fringes of different colours. We see it as colour spectrum.

A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75\, cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4\, beats$ per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to $2\, per second$. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340\, m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is
