(A) O, Y, Z and N,

(B) P, Y, M and Z,

(C) O, X, M and Z,

(D) P, X, Z and N.

उत्तर

O is the angle of prism.

Angle of incidence is the angle made by the incident ray with the normal to the surface of the prism. Here, X represents the angle of incidence.

Angle of emergence is the angle made by the emerging ray with the normal to the surface of the prism. Here, Mrepresents the angle of emergence.

Angle of deviation is the angle made by the emerging ray with the incident ray. Here, Z represents the angle of deviation.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Say TRUE or FALSE

Rainbow is formed by dispersion of which light by water drops


During dispersion of white light by prism placed in air, for a particular value of angle of prism,


The dispersive powers of flint glass and crown glass are 0.053 and 0.034, respectively and their mean refractive indices are 1.68 and 1.53 for white light. Calculate the angle of the flint glass prism required to form an achromatic combination with a crown glass prism of refracting angle 4°:


When sunlight passes through water droplets in the atmosphere it gets dispersed into its constituent colours forming a rainbow. A similar phenomenon is observed when white light passes through a prism.

Instead of sunlight, a green-coloured ray is passed through a glass prism. What will be the colour of the emergent ray?
