Question

White light is incident on a hollow prism. Will dispersion take place? Justify your answer

Answer 1

Dispersion will take place but not that much effective as the prism Is Hollow

Answer 2

Explanation:

Dispersion is the phenomenon of the splitting of the white light into different colors.

Dispersion occurs when an incident light is refracted by the denser medium of the glass of the prism.

When the white light is incident on a hollow prism, dispersion will not take place as in this case, there is no denser medium then the light rays will not get refracted.
