Assertion (A): Sunlight reaches us without dispersion in the form of white light and not as its components. Reason (R): Dispersion takes place due to variation of refractive index for different wavelength but in vacuum the speed of light is independent of wavelength and hence vacuum is a non dispersive medium.

Convection is a process of heat transfer by the actual movement of molecules. Convection can take place only in I and II Heat transfer by III. can take place without any medium. The given statements are correctly completed by alternative
