Assertion (A): A fabric treated with an optical brightener can reflect more visible light than falls on it.
Reason (R): Energy absorbed in the ultraviolet is re-emitted in the visible blue region.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason resolves the apparent paradox: the total energy is not increased, but light is moved from a region the eye cannot see into one it can. Reflectance above a hundred per cent is the visible result.
