Question 1
The atmosphere of the earth is heated by radiations which are mainly:

(a) radiated by the sun
(b) re-radiated by land
(c) re-radiated by water
(d) re-radiated by land and water

The mode of heat transfer between earth and sun is radiation.

Q. Assertion :Studies on black body radiations led to Planck's hypothesis of quantisation of electromagnetic radiations. Reason: Photo-electric effect provides evidence of the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation whereas diffraction provides evidence of its wave nature.
