Statement I: A beam of white light enters the curved surface of a semicircular piece of glass along the normal. The imcoming beam is moved clockwise (so that the angle `theta` increases), such that the beam always enters along th enormal to the curved side. Just before the refracted beam disappears, it becomes predominantly red.
Statement II: The index of refraction for light at the red end of the visible spectrum is more than at the violet end.

A

Statement is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is 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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
