To solve the question of which color emerges first when a short pulse of white light travels through a glass slab at normal incidence, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding White Light**: White light is composed of multiple colors, which can be represented by the acronym VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red). Each color has a different wavelength. 2. **Normal Incidence**: When light strikes the glass slab at normal incidence, it does not change direction. This means that all colors enter the glass slab without bending. ...
