Question

explain why white light is dispersed?


please do not copy from google or anywhere :(

Answer 1

Answer:

Different speed of different colours of light.

Explanation:

Light is dispersed beacuse light is made of different colours. And different colours have different wavelength. And thus when white light from sun enters oyr atmosphere then there is many layer of atmosphere of different refractive index. By which light of different wavelength shows different speed in that medium. And deviate a little too.

As red light has most wavelength and thus its deviation is less and Violet has most deviation.

And thus the light gets dispersed. We can do this dispersion experiment in our home. And for that we can use Prism".

Answer 2

Explanation:

it is actually a theorem that light chooses such path on which take least time to travel that distance

for example when light goes in water it displaces or die words from its original position that is because if the light would be traveling the straight line distance then it would take more time because the velocity of light is less in water so besides travelling in a straight line it diverges from its original position so as to travel less distance in water thereby saving time so in this way when light diverges from its original position then it travels that vary distance in a least time.
