Which light ray will bend the least when red green and blue light rays enter a drop of water?

Red light.


How does a prism light bend?

A prism doesn't bend light, you need a strong gravitational force to achieve that.The thing a prism can do to light is split it into its component parts by a process known as refraction.ANS 2: Imagine a parade marching diagonally across a parking lot. They march off the pavement on an angle into the mud. The parade bends towards the mud because the side that hits the mud first moves slower than the side that is still on the pavement. The parking lot is like the air and the mud is the glass and the parade is the beam of light. As light passes into the prism from the air, it slows down and bends (refracts) towards the glass. The speed of light through a dense medium is slower than through a less dense medium (index of refraction). The colors in white light get separated because the blue light doesn't bend as much as the red light because it has a shorter wavelength (it moves through the mud easier). One test for fake diamonds is to drop the fake diamonds into oil, they will seem to disappear because the index of refraction of fake diamonds is the same as the oil.


What happens to the printed words when viewed through the drop of water on the plastic cover?

The light you see has been refracted through the water. Refraction is when light slows down through a medium with higher density than a vacuum. When it does it bends towards the origin.


What is the voltage drop running through the parallel?

The voltage drop is the same through each of the parallel branches.


Why is light internally reflected in a raindrop?

light after incident on molecules of water (rain drop) it scatters or reflected.

What is a rainbow?

It is a rule that violet light bend that most and red color bend least way. Most of the light passes through the rain drop. Because of bending of colors in different ways and on different angle each color that emerges from raindrop produce a spectrum of colors. As only single color from each drop reaches to observer, so there are number of raindrops from which each rain drop reflect the light back to an observer at slightly different angle, as to produce different primary colors of rainbow. Secondary rainbow appears above the primary rainbow. When two colors reflection occur inside a raindrop at such angle that it results into secondary rainbow. When weaker light that start emerging to produce a dimmer rainbow effect. Refraction happens as light enters and leaves a prism. Red light is refracted the least and violet light is refracted the most. This causes the different colours in the light to spread out to form a spectrum. Separating the colours like this is called dispersion. We say that the light has been dispersed.


Why does the voltage drop as electricity flows through a light bulb?

Do you mean why is the voltage in a circuit lower after the light bulb than before it? If so, it's because the light bulb filament has electrical resistance. When an electrical current flows through a resistance, there is a voltage drop across the resistance (Ohm's law).More fundamentally, the light bulb is producing light, which is a form of energy. The voltage drop across the light bulb comes from the fact that electrical energy is being turned into light. If voltage didn't drop, you would be producing energy from nothing. Furthermore, if there were no voltage drop, your circuit would behave the same whether you had no light bulbs, one light bulb, or eighteen million light bulbs - something that clearly can't be the case.

Why is it important to put coverslip over the drop of water when prepare a wet mount?

It flattens the drop to an even thickness. Otherwise surface tension would draw the drop into a ball, which will distort light passing through it.

What happens when white light from the sun passes through raindrops?

The light separates, or refracts (I think that's the right word) into a rainbow inside the drop and recombines into white light as it leaves the drop. That is why you need many many drops to see a rainbow.
