Q.1. Assertion(A) : White light is dispersed into its seven-colour components by a prism.
Reason (R) : Different colours of light bend through different angles with respect to the incident ray as they pass through a prism.

Answer

(a)

---

Q.2. Assertion(A) : The phenomenon of scattering of light by the colloidal particles gives rise to Tyndall effect.
Reason (R): The colour of the scattered light depends on the size of the scattering particles.

Answer

(b)

---

Q.3. Assertion(A): A normal human eye can clearly see all the objects beyond certain minimum distance.
Reason (R) : The human eye has capacity of adjusting the focal length of eye lens.

Answer

(a)

---

Q.4. Assertion(A) : A rainbow is sometimes seen in the sky in rainy season only when observer’s back is towards the Sun.
Reason (R) : Internal reflection in the water droplets cause dispersion and the final rays are in backward direction.

Answer
