Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The image represents the emission and absorption spectrum of hydrogen atom. In the emission spectrum we notice that most of the wavelengths are missing, hence most of the space is in black. The wavelengths present in the emission spectra are the ones missing in the absorption spectra. Hence the Assertion is correct. The reason however is false, since hydrogen shows both absorption as well as emission spectrum.
