NEET Physics Dispersion of Light Assertion Reason Question
Given below are two statements :
Statement I: When the white light passed through a prism, the red light bends lesser than yellow and violet.
Statement II: The refractive indices are different for different wavelengths in dispersive medium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
