JEE Main 2024 — 5 April, Shift 2 — Question 31

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II :

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, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

  3. Option C:

    Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

  4. Option D:

    Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

As λred >λyellow >λviolet \lambda_{\text {red }}>\lambda_{\text {yellow }}>\lambda_{\text {violet }}

Light ray with longer wavelength bends less.
