The wavelengths of violet and red light are 4000 Å and 8000 Å respectively. Which of the two has the higher frequency?
Advertisements
उत्तर
A higher frequency is associated with a lower wavelength. Thus, 4000 Å wavelength violet light has a greater frequency.

(D) The emergent ray is perpendicular to the incident ray.
What is spectrum? What is the name of glass shape used to produce a spectrum?
In the figure given alongside, a narrow beam of white light is shown to pass through a triangular glass prism. After passing through the prism, it produces a spectrum YX on the screen.
State the colour seen (i) at X, and (ii) at Y.
In figure AO is the ray of white light falling on a prism PQR. Complete the diagram till the light emerges out from the prism and falls on the screen.

The frequency range of visible light is from 3.75 × 1014 Hz to 7.5 × 1014 Hz. Calculate its wavelength range. Take speed of light = 3 × 108 m/s.
The phenomena of light involved in the formation of rainbow are ______.
Why do we see a rainbow in the sky only after rainfall?
State the correct sequence (1-7) of colours in the spectrum formed by the prisms A and B, shown in the following figure.

State True or False:
"Wavelength of red light is close to 700 nm.”
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.
Instead of sunlight, a green-coloured ray is passed through a glass prism. What will be the colour of the emergent ray?
