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.
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.
State the correct sequence (1-7) of colours in the spectrum formed by the prisms A and B, shown in the following figure.
The angle of deviation through a prism is minimum when
- Incident rays and emergent rays are symmetric to the prism.
- The refracted ray inside the prism becomes parallel to its base.
- The angle of incidence is equal to that of the angle of emergence.
- When the angle of emergence has doubled the angle of incidence.
