What happens when a ray of light is shone into a prism?
The various frequencies are separated.
What happens when a light ray enters a prism?
All the colors of the visible light spectrum are made visible.
What happens when you shine a light ray into a light prisim?
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.
When does total internal refraction happen?
Total internal refraction happens when a light ray travel from a lighter medium to a denser medium. Ex. A light ray passing through a Prism.
What happens if the ray of light hits the mirror?
The ray of light reflects.

When light passes through a prism why does the light ray bend towards the base of the prism?
reflection
What will happen the ray is shone at the prism?
when the ray is shone at the prism, refraction occurs and the light will split into it's original colour.
How can a spectrum be recombined to form white light?
you get your spectrum by placing a prism in front of a single ray of white light, then by putting another prism opposite it the light will then go through that prism and in the end you will end up back with your single ray of light that you started with.
What happens when a ray shines through a prism?
it makes a rainbow
How much will a one diopter prism deviate a ray of light in a distance of one meter?
A one diopter prism will deviate a ray of light 1cm at a distance of one meter.
What is the ray diagram of light refraction in air and glass?
A prism
What is medium dispresed on a white ray of light?
by a prism made of glass
