During dispersion of white light by the glass prism, which of the following light of the spectrum bends the most?
This questions was previously asked in
HAS GS Previous Year Prelims Paper (2019)
Explanation:
- During the dispersion of white light by a glass prism, different colors of light bend by different amounts.
- This bending, called refraction, occurs because different colors have different wavelengths.
- Shorter wavelengths bend more than longer ones.
- Option 1: Blue - Blue light bends significantly, but not the most.
- Option 2: Violet - Violet light has the shortest wavelength in the visible spectrum, so it bends the most.
- Option 3: Indigo - Indigo bends more than blue but less than violet.
- Option 4: Red - Red light has the longest wavelength, so it bends the least.
- Correct Answer: Option 2: Violet - Violet light bends the most in the spectrum.
