Draw a ray diagram to show the dispersion of white light.


In the formation of spectrum of white light by a prism:

 which colour is deviated most?


Describe how you could demonstrate that white light is composed of a number of colours.


A beam of white light falls on a glass prism. The colour of light which undergoes the least bending on passing through the glass prism is:
(a) violet
(b) red
(c) green
(d) blue


The colour of white light which suffers the maximum bending (or maximum refraction) on passing through a glass prism is:
(a) yellow
(b) orange
(c) red
(d) violet


The colour of white light which is deviated the maximum on passing through the glass prism is:
(a) blue
(b) indigo
(c) red
(d) orange


Out of the following, the colour of light having the maximum wavelength is:
(a) violet
(b) indigo
(c) green
(d) orange


You are given a disc divided into seven sectors with colours violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red in them. What would be its colour when it is rotated rapidly?


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.


In the following diagram, the correctly marked angles are

(A) All
(B) Only ∠i and ∠A
(C) ∠i, ∠r and ∠A
(D) ∠i, ∠A and ∠D


Draw a labeled ray diagram to illustrate the dispersion of a narrow beam of white light when it passes through a glass prism.


A glass prism is able to produce the spectrum when white light passes through it, but a glass slab doesn’t produce any spectrum. Explain why it is so. 


If a monochromatic beam of light undergoes minimum deviation through an equiangular prism, how does the beam pass through the prism, with respect to its base?


Complete the ray diagram given below to show the nature of light produced on the screen.

The completed ray diagram is as shown below: 


Make the correct choice for each of the following:

Which one of the following Fig correctly shows the path of the ray through the glass block?


What do you understand by spectrum? Name the seven prominent colours in order, as obtained in the spectrum of white light.


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.


Curved mirrors have surfaces that are spherical, cylindrical, parabolic, and ellipsoid.


Observe the given diagram and answer the questions:

  1. Name the process shown in the figure.
  2. Name the colour that deviates the most.
  3. Name the colour that deviates the least.
  4. Name any one phenomenon in nature which is based on the above process.
  5. Define ‘spectrum’.
