What is a dispersion of light

उत्तर

Dispersion of light is the phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours.

When a narrow beam of sunlight is incident on a glass prism, the emergent light splits into seven colours, namely, violet (V), indigo (I), blue (B), green (G), yellow (Y), orange (O) and red (R).

Two monochromatic rays of light are incident normally on the face AB of an isosceles right-angled prism ABC. The refractive indices of the glass prism for the two rays '1' and '2' are respectively 1.38 and 1.52. Trace the path of these rays after entering through the prism.


Draw the ray diagram showing refraction of light through a glass prism and hence obtain the relation between the refractive index μ of the prism, angle of prism and angle of minimum deviation.


Give the formula that can be used to determine refractive index of materials of a prism in minimum deviation condition ?


The equation \[\omega = \frac{\mu_u - \mu_r}{\mu - 1}\] was derived for a prism having small refracting angle. Is it also valid for a prism of large refracting angle? Is it also valid for a glass slab or a glass sphere?

Two prisms of identical geometrical shape are combined with their refracting angles oppositely directed. The materials of the prisms have refractive indices 1.52 and 1.62 for violet light.
