Question

A prism ABC (with BC as base) is placed in different orientations. A narrow beam of white light is incident on the prism as shown in the Figures given below. In which of the following cases, after dispersion, the third colour from the top corresponds to the colour of the sky?​

Answer 1

Answer:

White light is made up of seven bands of colors each having different wavelengths. Upon passing through a medium, each of the colors travels at different speeds and hence has different angles of refraction leading to the splitting of the light i.e. dispersion.

Answer 2

Answer:

White light is made up of seven bands of colors each having different wavelengths. Upon passing through a medium, each of the colors travels at different speeds and hence has different angles of refraction leading to the splitting of the light i.e. dispersion.

Explanation:

as the prism splits different colour of light from a white light.
