A teacher is teaching the students certain concepts related to the dispersion of light. In the
above figure, a narrow beam of white light is shown to pass through a triangular glass prism.
After passing through the prism it produces a spectrum XY on a screen.See the above image
and answer the below questions.

17 State the colour seen at X. 1

( a) Violet ( b) Red
( c) Orange ( d) Green

18 Why do different colours of white light bend through different angles with 1
respect to the incident beam of light?
( a) Due to difference in speed of ( b) Due to difference in speed of air.
light.

19 State the colour seen at Y. 1

( a) Violet ( b) Red
( c) Orange ( d) Green

20 The process of white light splitting into its constituent colours is termed 1
as?
( a) Dispersion of light ( b) Snell's law

21 Which colour ray is least deviated by a prism? 1

( a) Violet ( b) Red
( c) Orange ( d) Green
