- The most.
- The least while passing through a glass prism.

उत्तर
- Violet is the colour that bends the most when white light travels through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength and is refracted the most.
- Red, on the other hand, is the colour that bends the least because it has the longest wavelength and experiences the least amount of refractive error. Indigo, blue, green, yellow, and orange are the other colours of the spectrum, which are indicated in order of increasing wavelength.

The phenomenon of splitting of light into its component colours is ___________ .
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.

Say TRUE or FALSE
After passing through a prism, white light splits into a band of seven colours
Assertion: We can see the rainbow in the sky when the rain starts falling after a spell of bright sunlight.
Reason: The rainbow is formed due to the dispersion of light.
State True or False:
"Wavelength of red light is close to 700 nm.”
Observe the given diagram and answer the questions:

- Name the process shown in the figure.
- Name the colour that deviates the most.
- Name the colour that deviates the least.
- Name any one phenomenon in nature which is based on the above process.
- Define ‘spectrum’.
When sunlight passes through water droplets in the atmosphere it gets dispersed into its constituent colours forming a rainbow. A similar phenomenon is observed when white light passes through a prism.
Instead of sunlight, a green-coloured ray is passed through a glass prism. What will be the colour of the emergent ray?
