Answer #1

when a white light enters the prism

we will observe the out going light is separated into the colours of the rainbow so that

the deviation of the red light is less than the deviation of the voilet colour or

the violet colour bent is more than the red colour , the mean deviation wiil be for yellow colout

that means the angle of deviation for voilet colour is more than red colour

so the answer is The outgoing light is separated into the colours of the rainbow, with the violet light bent the most.

As shown in the figure, white light enters a 45-90-45 crown glass prism at the vertical face. Part of this light refracts at the slanted face into the surrounding material and the rest experiences total internal reflection and exits the prism at the horizontal base. The colors of light that emerge from the slanted face may be chosen by varying the index of refraction of the material surrounding the prism. Determine the required index of refraction of the surrounding material...

A narrow beam of white light enters the narrow edge of a rectangular pane of glass at an angle of 60° from the direction perpendicular to the edge. The pane is 0.50 m in width. Estimate how far apart the red and blue parts of the visible spectrum will be when the light leaves the glass, first if the pane is made from crown glass and then if it is made from dense flint glass. (.0034m, .0083m)

If I shine white light onto a diffraction grating at a distance of 1m, which wavelengths bend more, blues/violets or reds?

Which of the following is a correct statement? (1 point) Dispersion of light occures because different colors of light have different refractive indexes. All colors of light have the same refractive index in a given medium. Dispersion is selective transmission of light. The seven different colors of light listed in decreasing order of wavelength are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. As wavelength of light increases, refractive index increases.
