उत्तर १
The phenomenon of the splitting of white light by a prism into its constituent colours is known as dispersion of light.
उत्तर २
When a beam of white light or composite light is refracted through any transparent media such as glass or water, it is split into its component colours. This phenomenon is called ‘dispersion of light’.

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.

(C) is parallel to the refracted ray
(D) bends at an angle to the direction of incident ray
