Identify the incorrect statements with reference to dispersion of white light.
(A) Red light gets most deviated while passing through the prism.
(B) Thick lenses show chromatic aberrations due to dispersion.
(C) Refractive index of medium for different colours is different.
(D) Red light travels faster than violet light in the prism.
(E) While light, once dispersed, cannot be recombined.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A (B), (C) and (D) only
- B (B) and (D) only
- C (A) and (E) only
- D (A) and (B) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) (A) and (E) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statements (A) and (E) are incorrect. • Red light deviates the least, while violet light deviates the most. • Dispersed white light can be recombined into white light using another inverted prism or a converging lens.

Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
