Note: For questions number 13 to 16, two statements are given—one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below: (a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A). (c) Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false. (d) Iboth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false. Q.13. Assertion (A): Electrons are ejected from the surface of zinc when it is irradiated by yellow light. 1 Reason (R): Energy associated with a photon of yellow light is more than the work function of zinc. Q.14. Assertion (A): The temperature coefficient of resistance is positive for metals and negative for p–type semiconductors. 1 Reason (R): The charge carriers in metals are negatively charged, whereas the majority charge carriers in p–type semiconductors are positively charged. Q.15. Assertion (A): When electrons drift in a conductor, it does not mean that all free electrons in the conductor are moving in the same direction. 1 Reason (R): The drift velocity is superposed over large random velocities of electrons. Q.16. Assertion (A): In interference and diffraction of light, light energy reduces in one region producing a dark fringe. It increases in another region and produces a bright fringe. 1 Reason (R): This happens because energy is not conserved in the phenomena of interference and diffraction.
