explian the dispersion of white light by a glass prism with diagram
Answers
Explanation:
The splitting up of white light into seven colours on passing through a transparent medium like a glass prism is called dispersion of light.
Cause of dispersion of light:
When light passes through a prism, the different frequencies of light travel at different velocities. Because of refraction, the different velocities make the angles of refraction different, causing the light to travel in slightly different directions.
The diagram demonstrating the dispersion of white light by a glass prism is shown.
Definition:
Dispersion of white light is defined as splitting of white light into seven constituent colours when passed through the prism. When white light is passed through a glass prism it splits into its spectrum of colours (in order violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) and this process of white light splitting into its constituent colours is termed as dispersion.
