White light passing through a glass prism split into seven colors is due to the phenomenon known as dispersion
Explanation:
- Prism is an arrangement of two refractive rectangular sheets inclined at an angle. It is triangular in shape and base is not refracting and other sides are refracting
- When white light incident on any of the surface of prism at an angle it undergoes refraction due to change in medium and gets deviated from its original path, as white light constitute of seven colors and each color have different wavelength so the deviation is different for each color hence we see all seven colors at other end and the phenomenon is known as dispersion
