Reason The minimum refractive index of any medium is 1.

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:
A
(a) When a diverging lens is immersed in a liquid, then its diverging power will either decrease or it will become converging.
