Optics Question 21

Assertion : Critical angle of light passing from glass to air is minimum for violet colour. Reason : The wavelength of violet light is shorter than the light of other colours.

Options:

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 are both false.

E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }\propto \frac{1}{C} $ .

$ {\lambda _{V}} $ is least so CV is also least.

Also the greatest wavelength is for red light.
