Detailed Solution

When light ray is passing from glass to air

we get sinC=1μg but μ1λ

Since wave length of violet (λv)is minimum so μvis maximum

We get sin C for violet also minimum hence critical angle of violet is minimum assertion is

true

But in Reason : it is given λBis greater than other colours it is false because

λB<λg<λy<λO<λRin (VIBGYOR)
