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.
In the following diagram the correctly marked angles are :

(a) ∠A and ∠e
(b) ∠i, ∠A and ∠D
(c) ∠A ∠r and ∠e
(b) ∠A ∠r and ∠D
Study the following ray diagram:

In this diagram, the angle of incidence, the angle of emergence and the angle of deviation respectively have been represented by
(A) y, p, z
(B) x, q, z
(C) p, y, z
(D) p, z, y
(i) 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.
(ii) Mark the least deviated colour in your diagram
(iii) Why do different coloured rays deviate differently in a prism?
As light rays pass from air into a glass prism, are they refracted towards or away from the normal?
Fill in the blank with suitable word:
When a ray of light enters a prism, it bends ................ the normal ; as it leaves the prism, it bends ................. the normal.
Which of the following colour of white light is least deviated by the prism?
(a) green
(b) violet
(c) indigo
(d) yellow
The colour of white light which is deviated the maximum on passing through the glass prism is:
(a) blue
(b) indigo
(c) red
(d) orange
Define the term dispersion of light.
A ray of white light is passed through a glass prism and a spectrum is obtained on a screen.
- Name the seven colours of the spectrum in order.
- Do the colours have the same width in the spectrum?
- Which of the colour of the spectrum of white light deviates (i) the most, (ii) the least?
A wave has wavelength 50Å of State its one use.
Write three conditions necessary to obtain a pure spectrum on a screen. Name the instrument in which the conditions stated by you are fulfilled.
What do you understand by spectrum? Name the seven prominent colours in order, as obtained in the spectrum of white light.
Write the range of wavelength of the visible spectrum.
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.
