Answer» s denser than air, and thus, when a ray of light falls on the surface of the prism, it bends towards the normal. According to the diagram, ray PE falls on the surface of the prism and bends towards the normal NE. Then, while moving from the glass to air, the emergent ray FS bends AWAY from the normal.The spreading of white light into its full spectrum of wavelengths is called dispersion. Rainbows are produced by a COMBINATION of refraction and reflection and involve the dispersion of SUNLIGHT into a continuous DISTRIBUTION of colors. |
