A glass prism can be used to show the dispersion of white light to form a spectrum. Explain why some colours of light are more strongly dispersed than others.
Important Questions on Spectra
A narrow beam of white light enters a glass prism and it splits into the colours of the visible spectrum. What name we give to bending of light as it enters the prism?
A narrow beam of white light enters a glass prism and it splits into the colours of the visible spectrum. What name we give to the different amounts of bending that give rise to the spectrum.
A narrow beam of white light enters a glass prism and it splits into the colours of the visible spectrum. The lines labelled A to G represent rays of seven main colours of the visible spectrum. Write down the letter that corresponds to the RED ray.
