MCQ
When white light enters a prism, it gets split into its constituent colours. This is due to
- AHigh density of prism material
- ✓Because $\mu$ is different for different $\lambda$
- CDiffraction of light
- DVelocity changes for different frequencies
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Because $\mu$ is different for different $\lambda$
b
(b) For different colours $\mu$ changes so deviation of different colour is also different.
(b) For different colours $\mu$ changes so deviation of different colour is also different.
