Yellow light is refracted through a prism producing minimum deviation. If i1 and i2 denote the angle of incidence and emergence for this prism, then
(a) i1 = i2 (b) i1 > i2 (c) i1 < i2 (d) i1 + i2 = 90º
Light of different wavelengths (different colors) present in white light have different speed. Hence, these deviate through different angles inside the prism and get separated.
After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light. As rays of...
(c) its wavelength decreases but frequency remains unchanged
EXPLANATION:
When light is refracted into a medium its speed changes but the frequency remains the same because the energy associated with a...
From the definition of critical angle, if refracted angle is more than 90°, then reflection occurs, which is known as total internal reflection.
So, maximum angle of refraction is 90°.
(b) Frequency does not change on refraction
EXPLANATION:
When light is refracted into a medium its speed changes but the frequency remains the same because the energy associated with a photon...
