c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
d) Assertion is false but Reason is true.

26. Assertion (A): the sunlight is called white light.


Reason (R): the sunlight consists of seven colours.
27. Assertion (A): rainbow is the natural phenomenon of dispersion.
Reason (R): rainbow consist of seven colour.
28. Read the following and answer any four questions from (a) to (e)
Dispersion is the splitting up of white light into seven colors on passing through a
transparent medium like a glass prism. When a white light beam is passed through a
prism, a band of seven colors are formed is known as spectrum of white light as
shown in below figure. When white light consisting of seven colors falls on a
transparent medium (glass prism), each color in it is refracted (or deviated) by a
different angle, with the result that seven colors are spread out to form a spectrum

(a) A beam of white light falls on a glass prism. Which colour of light undergoes the
least bending on passing through the glass prism is?
(b) Name the colour of white light which suffers the maximum bending (or maximum
refraction) on passing through a glass prism.
(c) Which of the following colour of white light is least deviated by the prism?
(d) Which colour of white light is deviated the maximum on passing through the glass
prism?
(e) Name the phenomena of splitting up of white light into seven colours on passing
through a glass prism.
