In the spectrum of visible light produced by a prism dispersion is
- A uniform throughout the spectrum
- B maximum in the middle decreases on either sides
- C maximum towards yellow
- D maximum towards violet
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) maximum towards violet
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In the spectrum of visible light produced by a prism, the violet light have minimum wavelength. So, the dispersion will be maximum towards violet.
