Statement-1 : The refractive index of a ...

Statement-1 : The refractive index of a prism depends only on the kind of glass of which this is made and the colour of light.
Statement-2 : The refractive index of a prism depens upon refracting angle of prism and angle of minimum deviation.

A

Statement - 1 true, Statement - 2 is true. Statement - 2 is correct explanation of statement - 1.

B

Statement - 1 is true, Statement - 2 is true, but Statement - 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement - 1.

C

Statement - 1 is true, Statement - 2 is false.

D

Statement - 1 is false, Statement - 2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Statement-1 is true, but the statement-2 is false. `mu` does not depend upon `A and delta_m`.
