The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we can break down the reasoning step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 **Statement 1:** The color of light depends on its wavelength. - **Explanation:** This statement is true. The color of light is directly related to its wavelength. Different colors of light correspond to different wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. For example, red light has a longer wavelength compared to blue light, which has a shorter wavelength. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 **Statement 2:** On passing through from one medium to another medium, its frequency does not change. - **Explanation:** This statement is also true. When light travels from one medium to another (for example, from air to water), its speed and wavelength change, but its frequency remains constant. This is because the frequency of light is determined by the source of the light and does not depend on the medium through which it travels. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Relationship Between the Statements - While both statements are correct, we need to determine if Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1. - **Explanation:** The frequency of light does not change when it moves between media, but this does not explain why the color of light depends on its wavelength. The relationship between color and wavelength is intrinsic to the nature of light itself, not influenced by the medium. ### Conclusion - **Final Assessment:** Both statements are correct, but Statement 2 does not serve as a correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the answer is that Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, but Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
