Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Corpuscular theory fails in explaining the velocities of light in air and water. |
| Reason (R): | According to corpuscular theory, light should travel faster in denser media than in rarer media. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

Sound waves travel faster in water than in air. Imagine a plane sound wavefront incident at an angle \(\alpha\) at the air-water interface; the refracted wavefront making an angle \(\beta\) with the interface. Then,
| 1. | \(\alpha>\beta\) |
| 2. | \(\beta>\alpha\) |
| 3. | \(\alpha=\beta\) |
| 4. | the relation between \(\alpha~\&~\beta \) cannot be predicted. |
