The twinkling effect of star light is due to

Statement I : The velocity of light rays of different colours is the same. But the velocity of the light rays are different for any other medium. If v = velocity of light in the respective medium c = velocity of light in vacuum, mu = refractive index, then v = ( c )/(mu) . Statement II : mu is different for different media.

Direction : These questions have statement I and statement II. Of the four choices given below , choose the one that best describes the two statements. Statement I: A ray of light entering from glass to air suffers from change in frequency. Statement II. Velocity of light in glass is less than that in air.

Statement I : Critical angle of the light passing from glass to air is minimum for violet colour. Statement II : The wavelength of violet light is greater than the light of other colours.

Statement I: The value of polarising angle is independent of the colour of incident light. Statement II: Polarising angle depeds on the refractive index of the medium.

This question has Statement I and Statement II. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement - I: There is no gas in the atmosphere of moon. Statement - II: Root mean square velocity of gases are greater than escape velocity of moon.
