As light rays emerge from a glass prism into air, are they refracted towards or away from the normal?


In the formation of spectrum of white light by a prism:

 which colour is deviated most?


In the figure given alongside, a narrow beam of white light is shown to pass through a triangular glass prism. After passing through the prism, it produces a spectrum YX on the screen.  

State the colour seen (i) at X, and (ii) at Y.


A beam of white light falls on a glass prism. The colour of light which undergoes the least bending on passing through the glass prism is:
(a) violet
(b) red
(c) green
(d) blue


The splitting of white light into its constituent colours is called .............


  1. A beam of monochromatic light undergoes minimum deviation through an equiangular prism, how does the beam pass through the prism, with respect to its base?
  2. If white light is used in the same way as in part (a) above, what change do you expect in the emergent beam?
  3. What conclusion do you draw about the nature of white light in part (b)?

Name the scientist who was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight.


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.


A prism of refractive index `sqrt2` and refracting angle A produces minimum deviation δm of a ray on one face at an angle of incidence 45°, The values of A and δm are, respectively ______.


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?
