Assertion : A priam is the source of colours of light.
Reason : A prism has same refractive index for different colours of light.

Explain refractive index for light of different colours.

What happens to the refractive index if the colour of light changes?

Statement-1 : When a white light passes through a prism it forms a spectrum of seven colours. Statement-2 : The refractive index for different colour of light is different for the material of prism.

Statement-1 : When a white light passes through a prism it forms a spectrum of seven colours. Statement-2 : The refractive index for different colour of light is different for the material of prism.

Which colour of light has the maximum refractive index?

The Splitting of different colours of light in a prism is:

For which colour of light is the refractive index of the glass the minimum?

Refractive index of glass is maximum for the colour of white light

Read the passage and Answer the following question: In, vacuum the velocity of light radiation with different wavelength is the same. But in a material medium, the velocity of different colour radiations is not the same and they travel with different paths. Due to this, the refractive index of the medium is different for different colours. If white beam of light is incident on a glass prism, the angle of refraction for different colours is different. When Sunlight is incident on a refracting surface, then it gets split into seven coloured spectrum and emerges out. The splitting of light into its component colours is called dispersion. Sir Isaac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of Sunlight. A glass prism is transparent medium bounded by two plane surfaces inclined at an angle. When white light is dispersed into seven colours by a prism, different colours of light bend through different angles with respect to incident ray. Out of these seven colours, red light bends the least, while violet light bends the most. So, the rays of each colour emerge along different paths and becomes distinct. Hence, we get spectrum of seven - different colours. Q. Which light deviates the least and which one deviates the most ?
