Question
Which of the following processes is responsible for splitting white light into its constituent colors when it is passed through a prism?
- Reflection
- Refraction
- Dispersion
- Diffraction
Hint:
The change in direction of path of light when it passes from one optically transparent medium to another is called refraction of light
The correct answer is: Refraction
Due to refraction, dispersion of white light occurs and it splits into constituent colors
