(A) The emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray.
(B) The emergent ray bends at an angle to the direction of the incident ray.
(C) The emergent ray and the refracted ray are at right angles to each other.
(D) The emergent ray is perpendicular to the incident ray.
A narrow beam PQ of white light is passing through a glass prism ABC as shown in the diagram.
Trace it on your answer sheet and show the path of the emergent beam as observed on the screen DE.

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?
When we place a glass prism in the path of a narrow beam of white light a spectrum is obtained. What happens when a second identical prism is placed in an inverted position with respect to the first prism? Draw a labelled ray diagram to illustrate it.
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 is the cause of the dispersion of white light through a glass prism? Draw a ray diagram to show the path of light when two identical glass prisms are arranged together in an inverted position with respect to each other and a narrow beam of white light is allowed to fall obliquely on one of the faces of the prisms.
State two uses of ultraviolet radiation.
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.
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.
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.
State the colour which bends:
- The most.
- The least while passing through a glass prism.
When sunlight passes through water droplets in the atmosphere it gets dispersed into its constituent colours forming a rainbow. A similar phenomenon is observed when white light passes through a prism.
Which colour will show the maximum angle of deviation and which colour will show the minimum angle of deviation?
