What happens when a light ray is directed at a prism?

When a light ray is directed at a prism, it bends due to refraction at the first surface of the prism. Inside the prism, the light ray may undergo further refraction as it travels through the prism material. Finally, when the light ray exits the prism, it bends again due to refraction at the second surface.


What happens if a hollow prism is used?

Using a hollow prism would result in light passing through it without being refracted or dispersed, as there is no medium inside to cause the bending of light. This would make the prism essentially transparent and not useful for deflecting or separating light.


What happens when a ray of light is shone onto a prism?

When a ray of light is shone onto a prism, the light ray enters the prism and bends or refracts due to the change in speed as it moves from air to the denser prism material. Inside the prism, the ray undergoes total internal reflection at the surfaces, causing it to reflect and refract, creating a spectrum of colors known as dispersion.


What occurs in a prism?

What is a hollow prism?

A hollow prism is a prism that is empty inside, without any material filling. It lacks the usual glass or crystal structure of a standard prism. It primarily functions to refract or reflect light due to its geometric shape.
