Assertion: If an object is placed at the centre of a glass sphere, and it is observed from outside. Then, it will appear at the centre itself.

Reason: All rays starting from object fall normal on the surface. Hence, they do not bend.

Assertion: A ray of light travels from the first medium to a second medium. In the first medium angle of a ray with normal is i1=30° and in second medium i2=60° Then, the second medium is rarer medium.

Reason: Refractive index of the first medium with respect to the second medium is sin30°sin60°.
