Key terms
Starter:
• White light is made up of different wavelengths/ ✓ Incident ray
Define the term
✓ Normal
wavelength
frequencies of light, which we see as different colours. ✓ Angle of incidence/
angle of reflection
• When these different wavelengths / frequencies enter ✓ Towards
✓ Away
the block they refract by different amounts. As shorter ✓ Wavelength
✓ Frequency
wavelength / high frequency of light refract more than ✓ Velocity
✓ Density
longer λ / lower f at the same boundary. ✓ Optically dense
✓ Sin i/ sin r = n
Grapple: P4
• This means the colours of the white light separate ✓ v1/v2 = λ1/λ2 = sini/sinr
Explain in terms of
slightly to produce a spectrum
changes to the
wavefront why
• Red light has the longest wavelength / lowest
refraction takes
place frequency and purple light has the shortest wavelength
/ highest f, so these colours can be seen at the edges
of the emerging ray.
