NEET Physics Question - Ray Optics - Lens Makers Formula/ Len's Formula

Assertion (A): Secondary rainbow is fainter than primary rainbow.

Reason (R): Secondary rainbow is seen due to the scattering of primary rainbow through water molecules.

(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(3) (A) is true but (R) is false

(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true; secondary rainbows are fainter due to two internal reflections causing more light loss. Reason (R) is false; secondary rainbows result from light undergoing two internal reflections in raindrops, not scattering of a primary rainbow.
