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.
Draw a ray diagram to show the dispersion of white light.
- 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.

"Wavelength of red light is close to 700 nm.”
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?
