Answer:

Refraction and Diffraction Occur Because Light Is a Wave

The refraction of light is the reason why a prism disperses white light forming a spectrum. Refraction occurs because light travels more slowly in a dense medium, such as glass, than it does in air. please give me brilliant answer I need 11 brilliant answers.

White light is defined as the complete mixture of all of the wavelengths of the visible spectrum. This means that if I have beams of light of all of the colors of the rainbow and focus all of the colors onto a single spot, the combination of all of the colors will result in a beam of white light.

Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The separation of visible light into its different colors is known as dispersion. ... When a light wave impinges upon an atom of the material, it is absorbed by that atom.
