Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Image formation needs regular reflection and/or refraction.
Statement II: The variety in colour of objects we see around us is due to the constituent colours of the light incident on them.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:                   [2024]

2 Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.  
3 Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.  
4 Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

Regular reflection is necessary for image formation, that is why we can see our image in a mirror but not on a wall. So, statement-I is correct. Different colours in white light as its constituents are responsible for variety in colour of objects.
