Question:

Which of the following phenomena happens because n varies with wavelength?

Options:

A lens focuses light

A prism brakes sunlight into different colours

Total internal reflection ensures that light travels down a fiber optic cable

Light rays entering a pond change direction at the pond’s surface

Correct Answer:

A prism brakes sunlight into different colours

Explanation:

In refraction phenomenon, when a wave travels form one medium to another medium then the speed and wavelength of the wave changes but the frequency remains the same.

because of different velocity for different colour deviation varies with wavelength.
