Q (13): White light is a mixture of ________ colours.

(a) 6 (b) 5
(c) 4 (d) 7
Q (14): The least deviated colour is _______.
(a) Yellow (b) Indigo
(c) Red (d) Violet
Q (15): Assertion (A): Sunlight reaches us without dispersion in the form of white light and
not as its components.
Reason (R): Dispersion takes place due to variation of refractive index for different
wavelength but in vacuum the speed of light is independent of wavelength
and hence vacuum is a non-dispersive medium.
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason(R) is not the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Q (16): Any light that gives a spectrum similar to that of sunlight is known
as_____________.
(a) Blue light (b) White light
(c) Green light (d) Red light
Q (17): Which of the following statements is correct regarding the propagation of light of
different colours of white light in air?
(a) Red light moves fastest
(b) Blue light moves faster than green light
(c) All the colours of the white light move with the same speed
(d) Yellow light moves with the mean speed as that of the red and the violet light
