उत्तर
- The process shown in the figure is the dispersion of light.
- The colour that deviates the most is violet.
- The colour that deviates the least is red.
- One phenomenon in nature based on the above process is the formation of a rainbow.
- A spectrum is a band of colours, as seen in a rainbow, produced by the separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength.

State the cause of dispersion of white light passing through a glass prism. How did Newton show that white light of sun contains seven colours using two identical glass prisms. Draw a ray diagram to show the path of light when two identical glass prisms are arranged together in inverted position with respect to each other and a narrow beam of white light is allowed to fall obliquely on one of the focus of the first prism.
The path of a ray of light passing through a glass prism is shown below:
In this diagram, the angle of prism, angle of incidence, angle of emergence and angle of deviation, respectively, have been represented by:

(B) P, Y, M and Z,
(C) O, X, M and Z,
(D) P, X, Z and N.
