Question

White light is broken down into what colors?

Answer 1

white light splits into `color(red)(VIBGYOR`

Explanation:

white light disperses when seen through a glass or prism into 7 colors known as visible spectrum or `color(red)(VIBGYOR` where

• V=violet
• I=indigo
• B=blue
• G=green
• Y=yellow
• O=orange
• R=red
  These colors are the only part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum which is visible to the naked eye. it looks somewhat like this.
  TRENDS:
  1.`nu=`frequency is high for the color violet and keeps reducing till it comes to red.
• `lambda=` wavelength is really low for violet and keeps increasing till it comes to red.
  3.refractive index(n)=it is high for violet and decreases down till red
• `i_c`=critical angle is really low for violet and increases till red
