Assertion : A priam is the source of colours of light.
Reason : A prism has same refractive index for different colours of light.

A

If both, Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explaination of the Assertion.

B

If both, Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explaination of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If both, Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Both, the Assertion and Reason are false as prism is not the source of colours. It only splits white light into its constituent colours. Different colours have different wavelengths. The prism has different refractive indices for different colours.

Assertion : A beam of white light when passed through a hollow prism cannot give spectrum. Reason : Because refractive index of air inside and outside the prism is same so no refraction and hence no deviation wll take place.
