Statement 1: If two prisms of small apex angles are made of same material then prism of larger apex angle will produce more dispersion. Statement 2: Dispersive power of a prism is proportional to apex angle of prism.

Options

A. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2: is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
B. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2: is true, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
C. Statement-1 is true but statement-2 is false
D. Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true

Answer

C

Explanation

`theta=(mu_(v)-mu_(R)) A`.
A statement-1 is correct statement-2 is incorrect becomes dispersive power is property of material of prism
