Consider telecommunication through optical Which of the following statements is not true?
EASY
MHT-CET
IMPORTANT

Assertion: In optical fibre, the diameter of the core is kept small.

Reason: This smaller diameter of the core ensures that the fibre should have incident angle more than the critical angle required for total internal reflection.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: There is no dispersion of light refracted through a rectangular glass slab.

Reason: Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of a beam of white light into its constituent colours.
