How does incident light emerge from a prism?
Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
Which light is deviated most and which light deviated least when a ray of white light passes through a prism?
Red is refracted most and violet is refracted the least when white light passes through a prism.
When light shines through a prism what can you see?
If you shine light through a prism you see a rainbow or more correctly the colour spectrum.
Can light be refracted or reflected?
both, refraction of light is breaking it up into the spectrum like when you shine it through a light triangle prism :D, while reflecting is bouncing the light off of a surface only changing it's direction
Which colour bends the least when light passes through prism?
The longer the wavelength the less the light will be 'bent' by a prism. Wavelengths get longer towards the red end of the spectrum.
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop

How does a prism create light dispersion?
Refraction. White light is made up of coloured components with different frequencies, which are refracted to different angles when passing through the prism. Blue light is refracted the most, whereas red is refracted the least. This allows us to see the entire spectrum of visible light.
What happens to white light as it travels through a prism?
The light is refracted (bent) causing it to separate into different colors.
What happeneds when light passes through a prism?
When light passes through a prism, it is refracted slightly and separated into seven individual beams of coloured light - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
When white light travels through a glass prism what colour is refracted through the smallest angle?
Red since red light travels the slowest
What happens when you shine an ultraviolet light through a prism?
It's refracted, just as visible light is, *given* that the prism is transparent to UV. Since the angle of refraction increases with decreasing wavelength, expect UV to be refracted to a greater degree than visiblelight.
How many times is white light refracted when passed through a prism?
Two times. One when the light beam crosses the air-prism interface and enters the prism and a second time when the beam crosses the prism-air interface on its way out of the prism.
