Question

describe the natural phenomenon of dispersion of light
​

Answer 1

Answer:

rainbow is the natural phenomenon based on dispersion of light. when the drops of the rainfall come in contact with the sunlight, then the white light of the sun splits into seven Colors-violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.

Explanation:

The splitting of sunlight into seven colours is called dispersion of light. And a rainbow is formed by dispersion of sunlight by water molecules present in air.

Rainbow formation is one of the natural phenomenon that shows dispersion of light. When sunlight in the sky comes to earth, it comes into contact with dust particles and raindrops that acts as a prism and splits the sunlight into seven different colours in the form of rainbow.

Dispersion of light :

• It is the phenomenon in which white light is passed through a glass prism and splits it into seven different colours.
• After dispersion, light can be seen in these colours : violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.

A prism :

• It is a solid transparent refracting object that splits light into seven different colours when light is passed through it.
