Which diagram correctly shows the path of light through a glass prism?
Diagram B correctly shows the path of light through a glass prism. Light enters the prism, bends towards the base of the prism, then exits the prism and continues in a straight line.
If a light ray is traveling from air into a glass prism how will the direction of the light ray change after it enters the prism?
The light ray will bend towards the normal (perpendicular line to the surface of the prism) as it enters the glass prism. This is due to the change in speed of light as it transitions from air to glass, causing refraction.
Can a second glass prism be used to recombine the spectral components?
Yes, a second glass prism can be used to recombine the spectral components that have been separated by the first prism. By carefully positioning the second prism, the dispersed light can be reversed and the original white light reconstituted. This process is known as prism recombination or prism recollection.
When white light passing through a glass prism is called?
The splitting of white light into its component colors when passing through a glass prism is called dispersion.
What was Isaac Newton's triangular prism made of?
Isaac Newton's triangular prism was likely made of glass, a common material for prisms during his time due to its transparency and ability to refract light.

How can a spetrum of light be made?
get a glass prism and use a flashlight to point the light through it (p.s you can use a piece of glass to use as a prism)
What would you use a prism for?
glass prism re used 4 physics practicals

Why does the ray shining from a glass prism move the other way?
is it because of the way the prism is shaped
