In which of the following four diagrams is the correct path of a ray of light passing through a glass prism shown ?

उत्तर
When a ray of light enters from air into the glass prism, it bends towards the normal and when it goes out from glass to air, it bends away from the normal. This can be observed only in figure A.
Hence, the correct option is A.

In the figure given alongside, a narrow beam of white light is shown to pass through a triangular glass prism. After passing through the prism, it produces a spectrum YX on the screen.

The diagram below shows the path taken by a narrow beam of yellow monochromatic light passing through an equiangular glass prism. If the yellow light is replaced by a narrow beam of white light incident at the same angle, draw another diagram to show the passage of white light through the prism and label it to show the effect of prism on the white light.

Draw a labeled ray diagram to illustrate the dispersion of a narrow beam of white light when it passes through a glass prism.
