प्रश्न
Why do we get a spectrum of seven colors when white light is dispersed by a prism?
उत्तर
The refractive index of the material of the prism is different for different colours. White light is composed of seven colours. When white light is incident on a prism, the constituent colours get refracted through different angles and get dispersed. So, the rays of each colour emerge along different paths and become distinct. Hence, we get a spectrum of seven different colours.
