MCQ

When white light enters a prism, it gets split into its constituent colours. This is due to

A
(a) High density of prism material
✓
(b) Because $\mu$ is different for different $\lambda$
C
(c) Diffraction of light
D
(d) Velocity changes for different frequencies

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

(b) Because $\mu$ is different for different $\lambda$

(b) For different colours $\mu$ changes so deviation of different colour is also different.
