Define the term dispersion of white light.
Draw a ray diagram to show the dispersion of white light.
In the figure given alongside, a narrow beam of white light is shown to pass through a triangular glass prism. After passing through the prism, it produces a spectrum YX on the screen.
State the colour seen (i) at X, and (ii) at Y.

Out of air and glass, which is optically rarer? Give reason.
- 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)?
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?
While performing the experiment to trace the path of a ray of light passing through a glass prism, four students marked the incident ray and the emergent ray in their diagrams in the manner shown below. 
(A) I

When we place a glass prism in the path of a narrow beam of white light a spectrum is obtained. What happens when a second identical prism is placed in an inverted position with respect to the first prism? Draw a labelled ray diagram to illustrate it.
The wavelength range of white light is ______.
Differentiate between a glass slab and a glass prism.
What is the cause of the dispersion of white light through a glass prism? Draw a ray diagram to show the path of light when two identical glass prisms are arranged together in an inverted position with respect to each other and a narrow beam of white light is allowed to fall obliquely on one of the faces of the prisms.
How can the presence of ultraviolet radiation be detected?
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.
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.
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.
What is a rainbow?
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?
