Correct option is D
The Correct Answer is: (d) The ray will be scattered
- When a beam of pure white light passes through a prism, the light undergoes dispersion, separating into its constituent colors (spectrum) due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different wavelengths of light.
Information Booster:
- Dispersion occurs because the refractive index of the prism material varies with wavelength.
- Violet light, having the shortest wavelength, bends the most, while red light, with the longest wavelength, bends the least.
- This creates a spectrum of colors, known as VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red).
