Sunlight consists of light of only one colour. Do you agree? Give reasons.

Solution

No, I do not agree. Sunlight appears to be a single white light but actually, it is made up of 7 constituent colours, i.e. Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red. When the sunlight undergoes dispersion, then the seven constituent colours can be observed separately.
