NEET Physics Prism Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): A prism can cause dispersion of white light into its constituent colors. | Reason (R): In a prism, the angle of deviation for different colors is the same.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
