Correct answer: B. Decreases with an increase in age

  • A. Increases with an increase in age:
  • B. Decreases with an increase in age
  • C. Neither increases nor decreases:
  • D. Becomes infinite after 60 years:

About Optics

Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
