Define the term dispersion of white light.
State the cause of dispersion of white light
(i) A ray of white light breaks up into its components while passing through a glass prism. Draw a ray diagram to show the path of rays.
(ii) Mark the least deviated colour in your diagram
(iii) Why do different coloured rays deviate differently in a prism?
In the formation of spectrum of white light by a prism:
which colour is deviated least?
When a beam of white light is passed through a prism, it splits to form lights of seven colours. Is it possible to recombine the lights of seven colours to obtain the white light again? Explain your answer.
What acts as tiny prisms in the formation of a rainbow?

(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:

Why do you not see a spectrum of colours when light passes through a flat pane of glass?
A ray of white light falls on a prism. Draw a ray diagram to show that the prism disperses the white light.
What do you understand by the term spectrum? Name the various colours present in the spectrum of sunlight.
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.
Draw a labeled ray diagram to illustrate the dispersion of a narrow beam of white light when it passes through a glass prism.
State two properties of ultra-violet radiations which differ from visible light.
Sunlight entering through a narrow aperture falls on a prism. Draw a neat labelled ray diagram to show the formation of the spectrum on a screen. Name the colour obtained nearer the base of the prism.
Which of the following is a natural phenomenon which is caused by the dispersion of sunlight in the sky?
Assertion: We can see the rainbow in the sky when the rain starts falling after a spell of bright sunlight.
Reason: The rainbow is formed due to the dispersion of light.
