Assertion: Different colours of light have same velocity in vacuum, but they have different t velocities in in any other transparent medium.
Reason : v = c/`mu`, where symbols have standard meanings. For different colours, refractive index, oftransparent medium has different values. Therefore, v is different

A

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason given in the context of the principles of optics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that different colors of light have the same velocity in a vacuum but different velocities in any other transparent medium. - This is true because, in a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves (including light of different colors) travel at the same speed, denoted as \( c \) (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s). 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided states that the velocity of light in a medium is given by the formula \( v = \frac{c}{\mu} \), where \( \mu \) is the refractive index of the medium. - It further explains that different colors of light have different refractive indices in a given medium, leading to different velocities for each color. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is correct because it accurately describes the behavior of light in a vacuum and in other media. - The reason is also correct as it explains the relationship between the speed of light in a medium and the refractive index, which varies for different colors of light. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct. The reason correctly explains why the assertion is true, making the relationship between them valid. ### Final Answer: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ---
