Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following are properties of electromagnetic waves?

Show answer

Travel at speed of light, Do not require medium, Are transverse in nature, Have same frequency in all media

Electromagnetic waves travel at 3×10⁸ m/s, don't need medium, are transverse, and maintain frequency during refraction. They are NOT deflected by electric or magnetic fields.

2true false

The total deviation produced by a prism is the sum of deviations at both surfaces.

Show answer

True

When light passes through a prism, it refracts at both surfaces. The total deviation δ = δ₁ + δ₂, where δ₁ and δ₂ are deviations at the first and second surfaces respectively.

3multiple correct

Which colors deviate the most and least when white light passes through a prism?

Show answer

Violet deviates most, Red deviates least

Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest refractive index, causing maximum deviation. Red has the longest wavelength and lowest refractive index, causing minimum deviation.

4multiple choice

The phenomenon of splitting white light into its constituent colors is called:

Show answer

Dispersion

Dispersion is the phenomenon where white light splits into its seven constituent colors (VIBGYOR) when passed through a prism due to different refractive indices for different wavelengths.
