Why can't overriding methods throw exceptions broader than the overridden method?

Question

I was going through SCJP 6 book by Kathe sierra and came across this explanations of throwing exceptions in overridden method. I quite didn\'t get it. Can any one explain it

Answer 1

The overriding method must NOT throw checked exceptions that are new or broader than those declared by the overridden method.

Example:

class Super {
    public void throwCheckedExceptionMethod() throws IOException {
        FileReader r = new FileReader(new File("aFile.txt"));
        r.close();
    }
}

class Sub extends Super {    
    @Override
    public void throwCheckedExceptionMethod() throws FileNotFoundException {
        // FileNotFoundException extends IOException
        FileReader r = new FileReader(new File("afile.txt"));
        try {
            // close() method throws IOException (that is unhandled)
            r.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
    }
}

class Sub2 extends Sub {
    @Override
    public void throwCheckedExceptionMethod() {
        // Overriding method can throw no exception
    }
}
