Statement I : The velocity of light rays...

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.

A

Statement I is true, statement II is true, statement II is a correct explanation for statement I.

B

Statement I is true, statement II is true, statement II is not a correct explanation for statement I.

C

Statement I is true, statement II is false.

D

Statement I is false, statement II is true. '
