Q2. Write, whether statement is True or False

1. The white light that we perceive is nothing but a mixture of all the wavelengths in the
visible light spectra.
2. The natural process between the sun, the atmosphere and the earth is called the
greenhouse effect, because it works in much the same way as a greenhouse.
3. Four to five crops can be grown in a greenhouse but productivity is decreases.
4. In the greenhouse crop production, the percentage of nitrogen increases and forms a
blanket.
