Assertion `:` There is no dispersion of light refracted through a rectangular glass slab.
Reason `:` Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of a beam of white light into its constituent colours.

A

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

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence, there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.
