Question:

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Glass has low thermal conductivity
Statement II : Glass can absorb, refract and transmit light.
In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Show Hint

Ordinary glass is a poor conductor of heat and it interacts with light by absorption, refraction and transmission.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Statement I: Glass is a thermal insulator with a low thermal conductivity (about 1 W/m K, far below metals), so it is correct.
Statement II: Glass absorbs part of the incident light, bends (refracts) light passing through it and transmits most visible light, so it is also correct.
Both statements are correct.
Answer: (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
