Question
Assertion : There is no dispersion of light refracted through a rectangular glass slab.
Reason : Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of a beam of white light into its constituent colours.
✓

Answer

(b) After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.
