NEET Physics Refraction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): When light passes through a triangular glass prism, it undergoes deviation from its original path. | Reason (R): The deviation is due to the refractive index of the prism material being greater than that of the surrounding medium.
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
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because light deviates when passing through a prism due to refraction. The reason correctly explains this as the deviation is caused by the refractive index contrast between the prism and the surrounding medium.
