प्रश्न
What will happen if another similar glass prism is placed upside down behind the first prism?

उत्तर
If a second, similar glass prism is placed upside down behind the first prism, recombination of seven colours takes place and a patch of ordinary white light is obtained on a screen placed behind the second prism. The recombination of colours took place because the second prism was placed upside down, because of which the refraction produced by the second prism was equal and opposite to the refraction produced by the first prism.

The diagram below shows the path taken by a narrow beam of yellow monochromatic light passing through an equiangular glass prism. If the yellow light is replaced by a narrow beam of white light incident at the same angle, draw another diagram to show the passage of white light through the prism and label it to show the effect of prism on the white light.
