(B) iris
(C) cornea
(D) pupil
5. Assertion: White light is dispersed into its seven-colour components by a prism.
Reason : Different colours of light bend through different angles with respect tothe
incident ray, as they pass through a prism. (1 mark)

assertion.
(B) Both Assertion and Reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation
of assertion.
(C) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
(D) Assertion is false but Reason is true.
6. Assertion- atmospheric refraction is responsible for advance sunrise and delayed
sunset.
