What is a hollow prism?
A prism that is hollow.
Why doesn't a hollow Prism disperse light?
Infinitely thin walls will not affect the beams of light, if the prism walls are not infinitely thin then there will be dispersion but not much.
What happens if you shine a beam of light into a triangular prism?
the light will reflect and will split in 7 colors.
What did newton use to separate white light into spectrum of colors?
Newton Discovered that White light comprised of the entire spectrum of the visible wave length. When white light was shone through a triangular prism, it refracted the entire color spectrum.
Why right angled prism is used in binoculars?
For better reflection
What is a hollow prism?

What is a hollow?
A prism that is hollow.
Does dispersion occur through a hollow prism?
No, dispersion doesn't occur through a hollow prism.
Why does dispersion not occur in hollow prism?
bcz there is no difference in refractive index during proagation
Why doesn't a hollow Prism disperse light?

What occurs in a prism?
What happens when light enters a prism is the light is broken up into all its natural colors. Hence what happens when you see a rainbow, all the little rain drops act as a prism.
Why light beam passes through hollow prism gives no spectrum?
spectrum is produced by the deviation of different colour by the means of refraction. When white light trevels from air into hollow prism (contains air) so there is no change of medium ,therefore no referaction and spectrum takes place.......
What happens in a periscope?
The top of the periscope has a prism that reflects the light to the observers prism. The object the top prism is pointed at is seen at the bottom one.
What happens inside a prism?

What happens to the volume of a rectangular prism if you double the height?
