NEETPhysicsRay Optics
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, chose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
