उत्तर
- The process shown in the figure is the dispersion of light.
- The colour that deviates the most is violet.
- The colour that deviates the least is red.
- One phenomenon in nature based on the above process is the formation of a rainbow.
- A spectrum is a band of colours, as seen in a rainbow, produced by the separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength.
