247 of 295

Question 247 of 295

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, chose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

As λred >λyellow >λviolet \lambda_{\text {red }}\gt \lambda_{\text {yellow }}\gt \lambda_{\text {violet }}
Light ray with longer wavelength bends less.
