Question
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below:

  1. Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
  2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  3. A is true, but R is false.
  4. A is false, but R is true.

Assertion: A beam of white light gives a spectrum on passing through a hollow prism.

Reason: Speed of light outside the prism is different as the speed of light inside the prism.

Answer

  1. A is false, but R is true.

Explanation:

Dispersion of light cannot occur on passing through air contained in a hollow prism. Dispersion takes place because the refractive index of medium for different colours is different.

Reason: The angle of deviation is directly proportional to the angle of prism.
Assertion (A): As the temperature of a medium increases the refractive index decreases.
Reason (R): When a ray travels from a vacuum to a medium, then $\mu$ is known as the absolute refractive index of the medium. ( $\mu_{\text {vacuum }}=1$ ).
