Which of the following statements are correct ?
A. The angle at minimum deviation of a prism is greater for violet light than that for red light.
B. The purpose of microscopes and telescopes is to increase the visual angle.
C. For the diffraction to take place the size of aperture or of the obstacle should be comparable to the wavelength of light.
D. The light scattered in the direction of the incident light is always plane polarised.
E. The source and its virtual image can behave as a coherent sources.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A A, B, and C Only
  2. B A, B, C, D Only
  3. C A, B, C, E Only
  4. D B, C, D, E Only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A, B, C, E Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A, B, and C are correct: Violet light has a higher refractive index and thus a greater angle of deviation (A); optical instruments work by increasing the visual angle of the object (B); and diffraction requires an obstacle size comparable to the wavelength (C). E is correct: A…
