Question

Assertion :The Helmholtz reciprocity principle describes how a ray of light and its reverse ray encounter matched optical adventures, such as reflections, refractions and absorptions in a passive medium, or at an interface.

Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The Helmholtz reciprocity principle describes how a ray of light and its reverse ray encounter matched optical adventures, such as reflections, refractions, and absorptions in a passive medium, or at an interface. It does not apply to moving, non-linear, or magnetic media. The assertion is therefore true,
De Broglie proved that light has dual nature and hence will also follow the law of collision. The reason is therefore correct as well.
But the reason does not give any explanation to our assertion.
Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
