Dispersion of light

When we pass white light through a prism,it splits into different colorsWhat is Dispersion?Splitting up of white light into 7 different colors when passed through a transparent medium (like Glass Prism) is called DispersionWhen white light is passes through the prism, it splits into seven colors. Th

Light refraction is the bending of light, or the change in direction of the rays as it moves past a boundary. For example, when light crosses through a window, it is refracted and can create a rainbow. A prism illustrates this theory. As light passes through the prism, it refracts and separates into an entire spectrum, or rainbow, of light. Introducing this concept to preschoolers can be done by experimenting with prisms or by a simple project using a glass of water and a piece of white…

Prism is a transparent optical object through which the white light gets refracted at different angles. Using prism the path of the rays of light is traced using a glass prism.

If you shine a beam of white light through a triangular glass prism, it will break the light into its various wavelengths producing the characteristic 'rainbow'. (Math Open Reference)

Learn about the dispersion of light, the electromagnetic spectrum, and how sunlight contains a range of wavelengths (photons of differing energy) with this video segment from Shedding Light on Science. Isaac Newton investigated sunlight by shining it through a glass prism; after the prism refracted the light, he saw a spectrum of colors. He recognized that sunlight was made up of many colors, which could not be further separated when passed through a second prism. Drops of water in the air…
