Question 6 - Assertion Reasoning Questions (MCQ) - Chapter 10 Class 10 - Light - Reflection and Refraction

Last updated at April 16, 2024 by

Assertion (A): Refractive index of glass with  respect to air is different for red light and violet  light.  

Reason (R): Refractive index of a pair of media depends on the wavelength of light used.  

 

Answer 

  • Since angle of refraction of red and violet light is different, their Refractive index is also different

  • Refractive Index and Wavelength are related: Refractive index is inversely proportional to wavelength
