Question

assertion (A): The sky appears dark to passengers flying at a very high altitude.
Reason (R): It is due to water droplets in the atmosphere ​

Answer 1

The Assertion (A) is correct and the Reason (R) is also correct but the reason (R) is not the explanation of the assertion (A).

Explanation:

• The scattering of light takes place when light hits a surface.
• In the sky, the process of scattering of light is restricted. It is due to this reason that the sky appears to be dark to passengers flying at a very high altitude.
• The atmospheric medium is rarer and hence the scattering of light does not occur in it.

Answer 2

Answer:

A is true but R is false......
