प्रश्न
State the colour which bends:
- The most.
- The least while passing through a glass prism.
उत्तर
- Violet is the colour that bends the most when white light travels through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength and is refracted the most.
- Red, on the other hand, is the colour that bends the least because it has the longest wavelength and experiences the least amount of refractive error. Indigo, blue, green, yellow, and orange are the other colours of the spectrum, which are indicated in order of increasing wavelength.

A ray of white light falls on a prism. Draw a ray diagram to show that the prism disperses the white light.
In an experiment to trace the path of a ray of light through a triangular glass prism, a student would observe that the emergent ray
(a) is parallel to the incident ray.
(b) is along the same direction of incident ray.
(c) gets deviated and bends towards the thinner part of the prism.
(d) gets deviated and bends towards the thicker part (base) of the prism.
A glass prism is able to produce the spectrum when white light passes through it, but a glass slab doesn’t produce any spectrum. Explain why it is so.
If a monochromatic beam of light undergoes minimum deviation through an equiangular prism, how does the beam pass through the prism, with respect to its base?

In the figure, a beam of light consisting of three colours blue, red, and yellow is incident on a prism and on a rectangular glass block respectively. Complete the diagram by drawings of the refracted and emergent rays.
In the diagram, a narrow beam of white light is incident on a right-angled isosceles prism. The critical angle of the material of prism for the yellow colour of white light is 45°. Complete the diagram to show the path of blue, yellow, and red colours of white light till they emerge out of the prism.
Write an Explanation.

Assertion: We can see the rainbow in the sky when the rain starts falling after a spell of bright sunlight.
Reason: The rainbow is formed due to the dispersion of light.
