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

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.
