The phenomenon of light bending when passing through a prism was first observed by Sir Isaac newton in the 17th century. He conducted experiments with prisms that led to the discovery that white light is made up of a spectrum of colors.
What else can I help you with?
When sunlight passes through a prism what colour dispersed light bends the least?
Red light, which has the longest wavelength, bends the least when passing through a prism, while violet light, with the shortest wavelength, bends the most.
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.
A tranparent object that starts with letter P that bends light and breaks it up in the rainbow?
A prism is a transparent object that bends light and disperses it into the colors of the rainbow through refraction.
When white light passes through a prism what color bends the most?
Blue light bends the most when white light passes through a prism because it has a shorter wavelength compared to other colors in the visible spectrum.
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.
When you look through a prism you don't see what is directly in front of you why?
because the prism bends the light
What is a glass wedge that bends light waves?
prism
What is reffraction?
it is when the light bends eg through a prism.

Red light, which has the longest wavelength, bends the least when passing through a prism, while violet light, with the shortest wavelength, bends the most.

Which color of light bends the most when going through a prism?
Violet.
When white light passes through a prism what color bends the most?
Blue light bends the most when white light passes through a prism because it has a shorter wavelength compared to other colors in the visible spectrum.

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.
What bends light rays?
A prism bends light rays. White light is made up of many different wave lengths of light. A prism bends each wave length a different amount, that is why different colors are produced from the output side of a prism.
What instrument bends light?
Mirror (uses reflection principle), transparent glass sheet (uses refraction principle),etc are the instruments which are used to bend light.
Which wavelength of visible light bends the most when refracted by a prism?
When light passes through a prism, the angle of deviation of any light beam is inversely proportional to its wavelengh. Since, violet color has least wave length, it bends the most and the red bends the least.Dhirender Sharma
