Question

Statement I: The eye is most sensitive for the light of frequency $5.36 \times 10^{14} Hz$
Statement II: The frequency of light is directly proportional to wavelength of light.

• A. If both statements are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.
• B. If both statements are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I.
• C. If statement I is true but statement II is false.
• D. If both statements are false.

Answer 1
