AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a beam of white light passing through a hollow prism gives no spectrum, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Prism**: - A hollow prism is essentially a prism that is empty inside, meaning it contains air instead of a denser medium like glass. - The shape of the prism will still allow light to enter and exit, but the properties of the medium will affect how the light behaves. ...
