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.
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:

What will happen if another similar glass prism is placed upside down behind the first prism?
When a beam of white light is passed through a prism, it splits to form lights of seven colours. Is it possible to recombine the lights of seven colours to obtain the white light again? Explain your answer.
Make two diagrams to explain refraction and dispersion.

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.
Distinguish between an impure spectrum and a pure spectrum.
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.
Observe the given figure and answer the following questions.

Which one of the following is involved for the formation of rainbow in the sky?
dispersive power of crown glass? Given that µv = 1.5230, µr = 1.5145
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?
