Can diamonds refract gamma rays?

No, diamonds do not refract gamma rays because gamma rays have such high energy that they pass through most materials without being significantly altered or slowed down. Diamonds, like most materials, are not effective at refracting gamma rays.


What is concave lens and prisms?

A concave lens is a lens that is thinner at the center than at the edges. It causes light rays to spread out, diverging as they pass through the lens. A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that can refract, reflect, or disperse light.


For normal incidence does white light disperse into it's constituent colours?

that is where we get rainbows. light shines through rain drops and refracts it's individual colors. For normal incidence there is no dispersion and hence the rays will not disperse into its constituent colors .(pearlsawme)


How can a pure spectrum be obtained?

when a beam of white light coming from a slit passes through a prism it splits up into seven colors which is obtained on screen.in practice following conditions should be satisfied to obtain a pure spectrum-- the slit should be narrow-then only a few rays will fall on prism and overlapping of colors will be reduced.- the rays falling on the prism should be parallel-all the rays will be incident on the prism at the same angle and rays of same color will emerge parallel to one another which maybe focused at one point.-the rays emerging from the prism should be focused on the screen by an achromatic convex lens-the prism should be placed in minimum deviation position w.r.t. the mean ray and the refracting edge of the prism should be parallel to the slit-focusing of different colors would be the sharpest.all these requirements are fulfilled in a spectrometer.


Why light rays does not bend towards thicker part while passing through prsm?

It is very difficult to answer this question since it is based on a total misunderstanding of what actually happens. Light rays, when passing through a triangular prism DO bend towards the thicker part of the prism!

How do you separate sun light rays?

a prism will do that


Why you use triangular prism why cant you use rectangular prism in diffraction?

bcoz in triangular prism, sides are not parallel so rays will deflect but in rectangular prism sides are parallel so rays won't deflect instead they will pass straight.


Can a prism transmit rays at all angle of incident?

yes

How do water droplets in the air form a rainbow?

the light reflects of the droplets like a prism and bend the rays of light to make a rainbow

What does a prism do to light rays?

A prism refracts light rays, causing them to bend and separate into different colors. This effect is called dispersion, where each color of light is refracted by a slightly different angle due to its wavelength, resulting in a rainbow-like spectrum.


Why do different rays deviates differently in prism?

It is because rays of different colours have different wavelengths. Waves with shorter wave lengths undergo less refraction.


What makes rainbows colorful?

Water droplets in the air act like a prism and bend the light rays from the Sun which splits the light into the individual wavelengths, allowing you to view it as a rainbow.
