A.Please hand me the book which is on the table.
B.Please hand me the book, which is on the table.
C.Yesterday, I sent an E mail to my wife who lives in London.
D.Yesterday, I sent an E mail to my wife, who lives in London.
Someone told me that C means I have many wives, but D means I have only one wife.
According to this approach, A means there are many books in my sight, but B means there is only one book in my sight.
Are these correct?

Strictly speaking, A should have "that" rather than "which", but people aren't always careful about it.
In any case, yes, that approach is correct:
-"the book that is on the table" means that of all the books in the room, hand me the specific one on the table
-"the book, which is on the table" means there's only one book in the room, and I'm giving you more information to help you find it.
