Rainbow forms when sunlight hits the water droplets suspended in the atmosphere and undergoes total internal reflection. When the sunlight comes out of the drop it disperses, where the drop acts like a small prism. Hence, rainbow is an example of dispersion of sunlight.
Particles or molecules, much smaller than the wavelength of light $(0.5$ micro metre $),$ produce a Scattering of sunlight that is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength. This means shorter wavelength scattered much more than longer wavelength.

It can be seen that the image is formed by actual light rays and thus can form a visible image on a screen placed at the position of the image. Producing a real image. Each region of the detector or retina indicates the light produced by a corresponding region of the object.
The lens is a transparent, convex lens in the eye that, along with the cornea, helps to refract light to be focused on the retina. Hence, Convex lens is present in human eye.

Just after the rain, a large number of small droplets of water remain suspended in the air. Each drop acts like a small prism. When sunlight falls on these drops, the white light splits into seven colours. The dispersed light from a large number of drops forms a continuous band of seven colours.

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 $\ce{(a), (b), (c)}$ and $(d)$ as given below :
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 constituents colours.
- A

Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
- C
$A$ is true but $R$ is false.
- D
$A$ is false but $R$ is true.
AnswerCorrect option: B. Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
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 same direction, hence there is no dispersion only lateral displacement takes place.

In the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given by the corresponding statement of Reason. Of the statements, mark the correct answer as :
Assertion : Red light has the maximum wavelength and violet light has the minimum wavelength.
Reason : Red light deviates least, while violet light deviates maximum.
- ✓
If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
- B

- C
If Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
- D
If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
AnswerCorrect option: A. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
his is because Violet has the least velocity in the spectrum and therefore undergoes maximum refraction. Red deviates the least as it has the highest velocity. Violet light has a shorter wavelength, and short wavelengths travel more slowly through a medium than longer ones do.
