Question
A beam of light consisting of red, green and blue and is incident on a right angled prism. The refractive index of the material of the prism for the above red, green and blue wavelengths are 1.39, 1.44 and 1.47 respectively. The prism will :
- separate part of the red color from the green and blue colors.
- separate part of the blue color from the red and green colours.
- separate all the three colors from the other two colors.
- not separate even partially any color from the other two colors.
The correct answer is: separate part of the red color from the green and blue colors.
