Assertion : Different colours travel with different speed in vacuum.
Reason : Wavelength of light depends on refractive index of medium. [AIIMS 1998]

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
