Question

what is a prism and how it works???​

Answer 1

A prism is a piece of glass or plastic in the shape of a triangle. ... A prism works because the different colors of light travel at different speeds inside the glass.

Because the colors of light travel at different speeds, they get bent by different amounts and come out all spread out instead of mixed up.

A prism is a clear, triangular device made up of plastic or glass (or any transparent material). When white light goes through a prism, the light bends due to the phenomenon called refraction. Refraction is the process of bending light as light goes from one medium (like air) to another medium (like water or glass).

White light is composed of all the visible colors in the electromagnetic spectrum, a fact that can be easily proven through the use of a prism. As light passes through a prism, it is bent, or refracted, by the angles and plane faces of the prism and each wavelength of light is refracted by a slightly different amount.

A prism is a 3-dimensional shape with two identical shapes facing each other. These identical shapes are called “bases”. The bases can be a triangle, square, rectangle or any other polygon. Other faces of a prism are parallelograms or rectangles.

Prisms are specially shaped so that light passing through them bends. Some colors bend more than others as they pass through the prism, so they split apart. This means that a beam of white light going into a prism comes out as a spectrum of different colors.

note....Violet is the colour that has highest speed in light .

i hope it helpfull to you dear

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A Prism is a homogeneous mixture, transparent, refracting material, such as glass, enclosed by two inclined plane refracting surfaces, at some fixed angle, called refracting angle or angle of prism, It has two triangular bases and three rectangular lateral surfaces which are inclined to each other.

• when a  white light is passed through the glass prism it splits into its constituent colours and this phenomenon is known as dispersion of light.
