The student who has traced the path correctly is
(A) P
(B) Q
(C) R
(D) S
- A ray of white light breaks up into its components while passing through a glass prism. Draw a ray diagram to show the path of rays.
- Mark the least deviated colour in your diagram.
- Why do different coloured rays deviate differently in a prism?
What are the seven colours seen in a rainbow?
A beam of white light falls on a glass prism. The colour of light which undergoes the least bending on passing through the glass prism is:
(a) violet
(b) red
(c) green
(d) blue
Which of the following colour of white light is least deviated by the prism?
(a) green
(b) violet
(c) indigo
(d) yellow
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.

- A beam of monochromatic light undergoes minimum deviation through an equiangular prism, how does the beam pass through the prism, with respect to its base?
- If white light is used in the same way as in part (a) above, what change do you expect in the emergent beam?
- What conclusion do you draw about the nature of white light in part (b)?
In the spectrum of white light by a prism, the colour at the extreme end opposite to the base of prism is ______.
In an experiment to trace the path of a ray of light through a glass prism for different values of angle of incidence a student would find that the emergent ray:
(A) is parallel to the incident ray
(B) perpendicular to the incident ray
(C) is parallel to the refracted ray
(D) bends at an angle to the direction of incident ray
The wavelength range of white light is ______.
Write three conditions necessary to obtain a pure spectrum on a screen. Name the instrument in which the conditions stated by you are fulfilled.
Write the range of wavelength of the infrared spectrum.
Suggest one way, in each case, by which we can detect the presence of Infrared radiations.
In the figure, a beam of light consisting of three colours blue, red, and yellow is incident on a prism and on a rectangular glass block respectively. Complete the diagram by drawings of the refracted and emergent rays.

In the diagram, a narrow beam of white light is incident on a right-angled isosceles prism. The critical angle of the material of prism for the yellow colour of white light is 45°. Complete the diagram to show the path of blue, yellow, and red colours of white light till they emerge out of the prism.

Write an Explanation.
Critical angle
Draw a neat and labelled diagram for dispersion of light.
Rainbow is a beautiful natural phenomenon. It is the combined effect of a natural three processes together produced by light. Write it into the circle.
