Question

How prism produces spectrum .and what happen if water droplet is circular in rainbow formation

Open in App
Solution

This causes light of different colors to be refracted differently and to leave the prism at different angles, creating an effect similar to a rainbow. This can be used to separate a beam of white light into its constituent spectrum of colors. A water droplet refracts and disperses the incident sunlight, then reflect it internally and finally refract it again, when it emerges out of water droplet thus acting like a prism.
