Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: When the white light passed through a prism, the red light bends lesser than yellow and violet.

Statement II: The refractive indices are different for different wavelengths in dispersive medium.

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

1 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  
2 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  
3 Both Statement I and Statement II are false  
4 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  

Ans.

(4)     

            As λred>λyellow>λviolet

            Light ray with longer wavelength bends less. So red has minimum wavelength so least bends.
