You must have seen chandeliers having glass prisms. The light froma tungsten bulb gets dispersed while passing through these prisms and we see coloured spectrum. If we use an LED light instead of a tungsten bulb, will we be able to see the same effect ?

Verified by Experts

Light emitted by LED (light-emitting - diodle) does not have all wavelengths in the region 400nm to 700 nm. Hence, its spectrum is not the same as that of light from a tungsten bulb or as that of sunglight.
