Q.

Assertion : When a ray of light travels from air to water, its speed will increase.
Reason : The speed of light is slower in a denser medium than in a rarer medium.

1 Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.  
2 Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.  
3 Assertion is true but reason is false.  
4 Assertion is false but reason is true.  

Ans.

When a ray of light travels from air to water, its speed slows down because we know that the velocity is slower in a denser medium (water) to rarer medium (air). Thus, assertion is false but reason is true.
