The division of different colors of light in a prism is called dispersion of light. This phenomenon occurs because different wavelengths of light refract at different angles as they pass through the prism, separating into a spectrum of colors from ...

When a ray of light travels from a rarer medium to a denser medium, it gets bent towards the normal. This bending occurs because the light slows down in the denser medium, causing the direction of the ray to shift ...
A stick immersed in water appears bent due to the refraction of light. When light travels from water to air, it bends at the interface. This bending alters the apparent position of the stick, making it look bent at the ...
An object above the water surface appears higher than its actual position to a person underwater due to the refraction of light. As light travels from air to water, it bends towards the normal, causing the object to appear elevated, ...
A fish lying inside water appears slightly above its actual depth due to the refraction of light. When light passes from water to air, it bends away from the normal. This bending causes the fish to appear at a shallower ...
When a compact disc (CD) is viewed in sunlight, the colors similar to those of a rainbow are seen due to the phenomena of reflection and diffraction. The CD’s surface consists of closely spaced tracks that act as a diffraction ...
A lunar eclipse occurs on a full moon day when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon. This alignment causes the Earth’s shadow to fall on the Moon, darkening it partially or completely depending on whether it is ...
A solar eclipse occurs on a new moon day (Pratipada). This is when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow on Earth’s surface and causing a temporary obscuration of the Sun’s light.
A cut diamond sparkles due to its unique molecular structure. The facets of a diamond are designed to reflect and refract light internally, maximizing its brilliance and dispersion of colors, creating the sparkling effect known as “fire” in diamonds.
A coin placed in a vessel filled with water appears slightly raised due to the refraction of light. When light passes from water into air (or vice versa), it changes direction, making the coin appear higher than its actual position ...
