Question 1:<\/strong> Light of different colours is deviated through different angles, by a prism. Explain the reason.
\nAnswer:<\/strong> The angle of deviation produced by a prism depends on the refractive index of the material of prism. The refractive index of material of prism is different for different colours of light because the speed<\/a>\u00a0of different colours is different inside the prism. Thus, the light of different colours is deviated through different angles, by a prism.<\/p>\n

Question 2:<\/strong> Which colour of white light is deviated most.
\nAnswer:<\/strong> The violet is deviated most.<\/p>\n

Question 3:<\/strong> Which colour of white light is deviated least.
\nAnswer:<\/strong> The red light is deviated least.<\/p>\n

Question 4:<\/strong> Give reason, why violet colour of white light deviated most and red colour of white light deviated least.
\nAnswer:<\/strong> The reason is that the speed of violet light in glass is least while that of red light is most. Since. Referective index of glass = speed of light in air\/speed of light in glass, so the refractive index of glass (the material of prism) is most for violet light and least for red light. Hence, the violet light is deviated most and red light is deviated least.<\/p>\n

Question 5:<\/strong> What is understood by the term dispersion of light? What is its cause?
\nAnswer:<\/strong> The splitting of white light into its constituents colours when white light passes through a prism, is called dispersion of light.
\nThe cause of dispersion is the deviation of light of different colours through different angles, by a prism.<\/p>\n

\nAnswer:<\/strong> Infra red region.<\/p>\n

Question 7:<\/strong> In the atmosphere which colour of light gets scattered the least?

\nAnswer:<\/strong> The three conditions necessary to obtain a pure spectrum on a screen are:
\n(i) A narrow parallel beam of light should be made incident on the prism.
\n(ii) The prism should be placed in the position of minimum deviation.
\n(iii) The emergent parallel beam should be focussed on the screen.
\nThese conditions are fulfilled in spectrometer.<\/p>\n

Question 10:<\/strong> Name any two electromagnetic waves which have a frequency higher than that of violet light. State one use of each.

Question 11:<\/strong> How will you investigate the existence of the radiation beyond the red and violet extremes of the spectrum?
\nAnswer:<\/strong> If a blackened bulb thermometer is moved from violet end towards the red end, first a steady rise in temperature is observed, but as the thermometer goes beyond the red end, there is rapid rise in temperature.

\nAnswer:<\/strong> The infra red radiations do not affect the ordinary photographic film, so they are used in the photographic dark room.<\/p>\n

Question 23:<\/strong> Explain, why infra red radiations are used for photograpy in fog?
\nOr
\nWhy are infra-red radiation’s preferred over ordinary visible light for taking photographs in fog?
\nAnswer:<\/strong> Infra-red radiations are used for photography in fog because they are not scattered by fog and can penetrate appreciably through it.<\/p>\n

Question 24:<\/strong> State three properties of ultra-violet radiations similar to visible light.
\nAnswer:<\/strong> (i) Ultra-violet radiations can travel in vacuum as the visible light can do, with the speed 3 \u00d7 108<\/sup> ms-1<\/sup>.
\n(ii) Both the ultra-violet radiations and the visible light are electromagnetic waves.
\n(iii) Both the ultra-violet radiations and the visible light obey the laws of reflection and refraction.<\/p>\n

Question 25:<\/strong> What do you understand by spectrum? Name the seven prominent colours in order, as obtained in the spectrum of white light.

Question 26:<\/strong> Distinguish between an impure spectrum and a pure spectrum.
\nAnswer:<\/strong> A spectrum in which there is overlapping of different colours is called an impure Spectrum. In other words, in an impure spectrum, the colours are not distinct and independent but they overlap. On the other hand, a spectrum with each colour distinct and independent is called a pure spectrum.<\/p>\n

Question 1:<\/strong> A prism causes dispersion of white light while a rectangular glass block does not. Explain.
\nAnswer:<\/strong> In a prism, the refraction of light takes place at the two slant surfaces. The dispersion of white light occurs at the first surface of prism where its constituent colours are deviated through different angles. At the second surface, these splitted colours suffer only refraction and they get further separated. But in a rectangular glass block, the refraction of light takes place at the two parallel surfaces. At the first surface, although the white light splits into its constituent colours on refraction, but these splitted colurs on suffering refraction at the second surface emerge out in form of a parallel beam, which give an impression of white light.<\/p>\n
