Homework Answers
The phenomenon is known as dispersion.
In simple term dispersion is the separation of visible light into different colors when passes through an object ( this object can be a prism or a mirror).
How rainbow is formed can be explained in simple sentence,
after a rain the water droplet will be suspended in the atmosphere , this act as a prism when sun light falls ( the white light ) on it, thus they will split into seven colors and thus rainbow is formed.

Which of the following is false about polarization of light?
It explains the separation of colors in white light by a
prism.
It can arise in reflection or scattering of light.
The intensity of a light wave by itself does not give any
information about the wave’s
polarization.
It arises because electric and magnetic fields in waves can have
components in two
perpendicular directions.

The rainbow of visible colors in the electromagnetic spectrum varies continuously from the longest wavelengths (the reddest colors) to the shortest wavelengths (the deepest violet colors) our eyes can detect. Wavelengths near 655 nm are perceived as red. Those near 515 nm are green and those near 475 nm are blue. Calculate the frequency of light (in Hz) with a wavelength of 655 nm, 515 nm, and 475 nm. 655 nm: 515 nm: 475 nm:

What is dispersion? A) the reflection of colors off the surface of a bright-colored translucent object, like a jewel B) the separation of light into different colors because of how different colors of light refract differently C) the refraction of light as it passes from air into water D)the separation of colors of light because their waves superpose E) the combination of a spectrum of colored lights into white light

Compare dispersing light into colors with a prism and with a grating. The 30-60-90 triangle prism is made of glass with indices n red =1.52 and n blue=1.53. The grating has 500 slits per millimeter. Light enter the triangle prism and then enters the grating. What is the angular separation between red and blue light leaving the prism in degrees? Please explain.
