Which among the colors of light on the white screen is most bent with respect to line ao?
The bending of red component of white light is least while most for the violet component.
As light passes through a prism, it is bent, or refracted, by the angles and plane faces of the prism and each wavelength of light is refracted by a slightly different amount. Violet has the highest frequency and is refracted the most.
These seven colours are remembered by the acronym ROY G BIV – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When white light shines through a prism, each colour refracts at a slightly different angle. Violet light refracts slightly more than red light.
Red color is the color which is least bent. Red color has longer wavelengths.
Violet light bends the most when white light it is refracted by a prism. This results in it being at the bottom of the colors that come out at the other end. The reason why violet light is the most bent is related to its shorter wavelength in comparison to the other wavelengths found in white light.
Shorter wavelengths of light (violet and blue) are slowed more and consequently experience more bending than do the longer wavelengths (orange and red).
Since violet light has a shorter wavelength, it is slowed more than the longer wavelengths of red light. Consequently, violet light is bent the most while red light is bent the least.
The light that bends the least is red colour and the light that bends the maximum is violet colour light.
Violet colour light refracts the most as light passes through air and into a prism during dispersion, because violet light in the visible light spectrum has a smaller wavelength of about 400 nanometers when compared to red at 650 nanometers. Was this answer helpful?
Since in general the index of refraction is bigger for shorter wavelengths, blue light bends more than red light.
Which colour light bends the least and why?
On dispersion, the light rays with longer wavelengths bend less than ones with shorter wavelength. Since red has the longest wavelength, it bends the least.
- Violet light is bent the most but red light is bent the least.
- Violet light in the visible light spectrum has a shorter wavelength of about 400 nanometres.
The refractive index of the medium is maximum for the violet light and minimum for the red light. Therefore, when white light enters a prism, it disperses into seven constituent colours and violet light shows the maximum deviation.
Because white light (such as sunlight) is made up of all of the visible colors, this means they all bend. Because those different colors of light have different wavelengths, they bend at slightly different angles.
Each beam of light is slowed differently by the glass, with its own unique wavelength (or color). Since violet light has a shorter wavelength, it slows down more than red light's longer wavelengths. Consequently, through red light is bent the least, violet light is bent the most.
The amount of bending depends on the wavelength or color of the light. The shorter wavelengths (violet, blue, green) are bent more than the longer wavelength colors (yellow, orange, and red).
Different colours of white light bend through different angles with respect to the incident beam of light due to difference in speed of light of different wavelengths.
Among the 7 constituent colours of light, violet light has the least wavelength and hence it deviates the most and red light having the largest wavelength deviates the least.
The speed of red light is fastest and therefore there is least bending of red light whereas the speed of the violet light is slowest and hence it bends the most of all the colours. The red colour bends the least and the violet bends the most.
Answer : (d)Violet. Because violet have lowest velocity in glass and smaller wavelength. Q. Which of the following colour of white light has the least wavelength ?
Which color of visible light will bend the most when undergoing refraction?
Sunlight is refracted as it enters a raindrop, which causes the different wavelengths (colors) of visible light to separate. Longer wavelengths of light (red) are bent the least while shorter wavelengths (violet) are bent the most.
The order of the colors in the rainbow from least bent to most bent are, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Light is refracted (bent) only at the interface between two transparent materials of different density. Light passing from a less dense to a more dense medium bends toward the normal. Light passing from a more dense to a less dense medium bends away from the normal.
Convex lens of short focal length causes more bending of light rays passing through it.
Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.
The speed of red light is fastest and therefore there is least bending of red light whereas the speed of the violet light is slowest and hence it bends the most of all the colours.
The amount the light changes depends on the wavelength. Red light changes direction the least and violet the most.
"Blue bends best" by refraction, such as a prism. If you follow the "marching soldiers" into the mud model you quickly see that shorter steps lead to a sharper bend, while longer steps lead to shallower bends; blue is shorter than red when it comes to wavelengths.
Red light has the minimum refractive index and maximum speed when travelling through a medium since it has the longest wavelength. Thus, it bends least upon incidence and has minimum deviation for the incident ray. Was this answer helpful?
why? Since, glass has more refractive index than water, hence it is more denser than water. Therefore, a ray of light will bend more when passed through a glass.
Which of the following colours in a spectrum bends the least and the most?
Violet bends the most because it has shorter wavelength compared to other colours and red colour bends the least and can be seen at the extreme end opposite to the base of prism.
Violet is the color that is the most refracted due to its highest refractive index and shorter wavelength. So, it bends the most when passing through the prism.
When light passes from air to the glass of the prism, the change in speed causes the light to change direction and bend. Due to the differences in the refraction index between the air and the glass, light bends once entering the prism. Since the sides are angled, the light bends, even more, when it exits the prism.
Red light has the longest wavelength and is bent the least. Violet light has the shortest wavelength and is bent the most. Thus violet light travels more slowly through glass than does any other color. Like all other wave phenomena, the speed of light depends on the medium through which it travels.
This bending of light is call refraction and will result in the light bending into different wavelengths of light displaying a rainbow (spectrum) of color. The pattern always displayed is ROYGBIV; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Bending of light is the change in direction of a beam of light when it reflects off a surface. The bending of light is a phenomenon that occurs as light moves from one medium to another. Light travels more slowly in denser mediums, causing the beam to arc or bend.
Explain that red is the least bent color and violet the most bent color according to their wavelengths and frequencies.
Since violet light has the shortest wavelength, it bends the most; red light has the longest wavelength, so it bends the least.
Therefore, the speed with which they all bend varies depending on their wavelength, where violet bends the most, having the shortest wavelength and red bends the least, having the longest wavelength. Because of this, the dispersion of white light into its spectrum of colours takes place when refracted through a prism.
The order of the colors in the rainbow from least bent to most bent are, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Which colour of the white light is deviated the most by a glass prism?
Violet color has the least wavelength and red color has the maximum wavelength. So, violet colored light deviates the most and the red colored light deviates the least among the seven component colors of the white light.
Since red has the longest wavelength, it bends the least.
The red light bends the least while the violet the most. When a beam of sunlight is allowed to fall on one of the rectangular surfaces of the glass prism, we obtain a coloured spectrum with red and violet colour at its extremes. Q.
Materials with a high refractive index bend light the most, such as diamond (2.4).
Violet (the shortest wavelength of visible light) bends the most, red (the longest wavelength of visible light) bends the least. So when the light exits the water droplet, it is separated into all its wavelengths.
(i) Violet colour will deviate the most and (ii) red colour will deviate the least. Was this answer helpful?
Among the 7 constituent colours of light, violet light has the least wavelength and hence it deviates the most and red light having the largest wavelength deviates the least.
The color with the shortest wavelength, violet,will bend the most.
