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:
Draw a ray diagram to explain the term angle of deviation.
Fill in the blank with suitable word:
When a ray of light enters a prism, it bends ................ the normal ; as it leaves the prism, it bends ................. the normal.
Describe how you could demonstrate that white light is composed of a number of colours.
The coloured light having the maximum speed in glass prism is:
(a) blue
(b) green
(c) violet
(d) yellow
Complete the ray diagram given below to show the nature of light produced on the screen.

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.

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.


The dispersive powers of flint glass and crown glass are 0.053 and 0.034, respectively and their mean refractive indices are 1.68 and 1.53 for white light. Calculate the angle of the flint glass prism required to form an achromatic combination with a crown glass prism of refracting angle 4°:
