Answers
Answer:
The figure shows the dispersion of light wave by a prism.
Explanation:
When white light incident on a glass prism, the emergent light is seen to be consisting of several colors(violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red). The red light bends the least, while the violet light bends the most(as shown in figure).
The phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours is known as dispersion. The pattern of colour components of light is called the spectrum of light.
Explanation:
Visible light, also known as white light, consists of a collection of component colors.Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The separation of visible light into its different colors is known as dispersion.
