A prism can split light up into its colors because the speed of the different colors of light in glass varies slightly, with purple being the slowest, and red the fastest. White light is shined through a prism, which of the following describes the light that emerges from the prism? After passing through the triangular prism, the light becomes triangular shaped The light splits into its colors, with purple bending the most Only white light emerges from the prism O The light splits into its colors, with purple bending the least

A ray of light is incident on the surface of a block of diamond at an angle of 43.0° with respect to the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface at the spot where the ray hits the block). A fraction of the light is reflected and the rest refracted. What is the angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted rays? in degrees °
For refracted light rays, the angle of refraction: is always equal to the incident angle is always greater than the incident angle is always less than the incident angle is always equal to the critical angle can be less than, greater than, or equal to angle of incidence
If you were to observe the sunset on the Moon, would you see the space around the sun as red, like you do on earth? Yes, because the color of light is independent of where you are. No, you would see it blue because of scattering of light. It would depend on the time of the day when you look at the sky. You would not because there is no atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light. You would not because the moon absorbs all the colors of light. You would see it black because the moon reflects all the colors. Yes, you would see it red like on the earth because both the moon and the earth are spehrical.

When white light is separated into its colors by a glass prism, blue light is bent at the greatest angle. This means, that of all the colors, blue light a) has the lowest energy b) has the smallest frequency c) travels the slowest in glass d) spends less time between the molecules.
