A student is observing a diagram showing the path of a ray of light passing through a glass prism. He would find that for all angles of incidence the ray of light bends:
पर्याय
towards the normal, while entering the prism and away from the normal while emerging from the prism
away from the normal while entering the prism and towards the normal while emerging from the prism
away from the normal while entering as well as while emerging from the prism
towards the normal while entering as well as while emerging from the prism

उत्तर
When a ray of light enters a glass prism, it travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium. So, the ray of light bends towards the normal.
When the ray of light emerges from the glass prism, it travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium. So, the ray of light bends away from the normal.
Hence, the correct option is A.

Study the following figure in which a student has marked the angle of incidence (∠i), angle of refraction (∠r), angle of emergence (∠e), angle of prism (∠A) and the angle of deviation (∠D). The correctly marked angles are

(a) ∠A and ∠i
(b) ∠A, ∠i and ∠r

The colour of white light which suffers the maximum bending (or maximum refraction) on passing through a glass prism is:
(a) yellow
(b) orange
(c) red
(d) violet
State the speed of light in (a) air, (b) water, and (c) glass
The diagram below shows the path taken by a narrow beam of yellow monochromatic light passing through an equiangular glass prism. If the yellow light is replaced by a narrow beam of white light incident at the same angle, draw another diagram to show the passage of white light through the prism and label it to show the effect of prism on the white light.

If a monochromatic beam of light undergoes minimum deviation through an equiangular prism, how does the beam pass through the prism, with respect to its base?
State two uses of ultraviolet radiation.
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.

The process of separation of light into its component colours while passing through a medium is called _______.
Say TRUE or FALSE
Rainbow is formed by dispersion of which light by water drops
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.
Which colour will show the maximum angle of deviation and which colour will show the minimum angle of deviation?
