Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as **Reason (R):** Assertion (A):** The refractive index of a given transparent medium is different for different colors (wavelengths) of light. **Reason (R):** According to Cauchy's relation, the refractive index of a material decreases as the wavelength of the incident light increases. Choose the correct option:

Options:

  • A: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B: Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C: A is true but R is false.
  • D: A is false but R is true.
