उत्तर
A short pulse of white light is incident from air to a glass slab at normal incidence. After travelling through the slab, the first colour to emerge is red.
Explanation:
As velocity of wave is given by the relation `v = f λ`. When light ray goes from one medium to other medium, the frequency of light remains unchanged. Hence `v oo λ` or greater the wavelength, greater the speed.
The light of red colour is of the highest wavelength and therefore of the highest speed. Therefore, after travelling through the slab, the red colour emerges first.

| Case study: Mirage in deserts |

To a distant observer, the light appears to be coming from somewhere below the ground. The observer naturally assumes that light is being reflected from the ground, say, by a pool of water near the tall object. Such inverted images of distant tall objects cause an optical illusion to the observer. This phenomenon is called mirage. This type of mirage is especially common in hot deserts. Based on the above facts, answer the following question : |
