To answer the question "Which phenomena can you study using a glass prism?", we can break it down into two main phenomena that can be observed: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Refraction**: - When light travels from one medium to another, its speed changes, causing it to bend. This bending of light as it passes from air (a rarer medium) into glass (a denser medium) is known as refraction. - In a glass prism, when a light ray enters, it bends towards the normal line (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence). ...
