MCQ
What happens when white light passes through a glass prism:
  • A
    Light dispersion and formation of a 7 colors spectrum.
  • B
    Light dispersion and formation of a  6 colors spectrum.
  • C
    Light reflection and a formation of a 6 colors spectrum.
  • D
    Light reflection and a formation of a 7 colors spectrum.

Answer

  1. Light dispersion and formation of a 7 colors spectrum.

Explanation:

Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different values of the angle of incidence refraction$(\angle\text{i}).$ He then measures the corresponding values of the angle of refraction $(\angle\text{r}) $ and the angle of emergence $(\angle\text{e})$ for every value of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would be.

In your laboratory you trace the path of light rays through a glass slab for different values of angle of incidence ($\angle\text{i}$) and in each case measure the values of the corresponding angle of refraction (​​​​​​$\angle\text{r}$) and angle of emergence ($\angle\text{e}$). On the basis of your observations your correct conclusion is:
