2024 Re-NEET Ray Optics and Optical InstrumentsReflection, refraction and colour of objects Medium Question 10 of 89 in Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Image formation needs regular reflection and/or refraction. Statement II: The variety in colour of objects we see around us is due to the constituent colours of the light incident on them. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect
B Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
C Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
D Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

The answer is C.

Solution

Regular reflection and/or refraction is needed to form an image, which is why we see our image in a mirror but not on a rough wall. The variety of colours we see in objects is due to the constituent colours of the incident light that get selectively reflected. Hence both statements are correct.
