Explain the refraction of light with the help of a Glass Prism.

The refraction of light by a prism is shown in the following figure. Then is:

What is dispersion of light? Will there be dispersion of white light within a glass slab after refraction when white light is incident on the glass slab at an angle of ?

Differentiate between a glass slab and a glass prism.




How many rectangular surfaces are there in a prism?

A student traces the path of a ray of light through a glass prism as shown in the diagram, but leaves it incomplete and unlabelled. Redraw and complete the diagram. Also, label on it and .


While performing the experiment to trace the path of a ray of light passing through glass prism, four students marked the incident ray and the emergent ray in their diagrams in the manner shown below:
The correct path of the rays has been shown by:








In the figure shown the refracted ray is
