Light of different colors passing through a lens spreads out in a range of angles, an example of?
A.Refraction
B. Defraction
C. Twinkling
D.Scattering
E. Dispersion
Thanks in advance
Option A) refraction is the right answer.
Light of different colors passing through a lens spreads out in a range of angles because of refraction. This can be understood using snell's law,

when a light ray passing through vaccum(n1=1) is incident on a lens a particular angle, then,

n2 will be different for each color therefore angle of refraction will also be different.

Will the image produced by light passing through more than one lens always be upside down? Explain why.
Light is passing through two polarizers. The intensity of the light coming out of the second polarizer is 44% less than the intensity of the light coming out of the first polarizer. What is the angle in degrees between two polarizers?
Chromatic aberration comes from the fact that different wavelengths of light travel at different speeds through the material of the lens; that is, they have different indices of refraction, a property known as dispersion. This means that a lens, in effect, has different focal lengths for different wavelengths of light. Consider a lens made to the following specifications: focal length for red light fred=19.57cm, focal length for blue light fblue=18.87cm. Part A Consider an object 5.000cm tall placed a distance...
The colors in a rainbow are caused by a)the interaction of the light reflected from different raindrops. b)the downward motion of the raindrops. c)different amounts of absorption for light of different colors by the water in the raindrops. d)different amounts of refraction for light of different colors by the water in the raindrops.
6. By what angle is light of wavelength 500 nm spread out by passing through an aperture of 1 meter? By what angle is light with a frequency f = 1 GHz spread out by passing through an aperture of 305 meters?
When “white light” which contains all the colors goes into a grating, it is separated out into the spectrum from 400. to 700. nm. The first order is distinct, in that, for m = 1, the colors range from violet to red with no “m = 2” colors in that range. However, as m increases, the orders DO overlap. What is the smallest value of m for which the red appears at a larger angle than the violet of the...
2. Explain why light rays converge when passing through a double convex lens by describing the paths of three light rays; one along the optic axis and the other two parallel to the optic axis. 3. What happens to the image if half a converging lens is covered? Explain why this occurs. 4. What are the conditions necessary to form a virtual image using a converging lens? 5. What type of lens is used in a magnifying glass? Explain how...
What is dispersion? A) the reflection of colors off the surface of a bright-colored translucent object, like a jewel B) the separation of light into different colors because of how different colors of light refract differently C) the refraction of light as it passes from air into water D)the separation of colors of light because their waves superpose E) the combination of a spectrum of colored lights into white light
Which of the following is correct? (a) When passing through air, blue light travels slower than green light (b) When passing through water, violet light travels slower than red light (c)When passing through air, green light travels faster than violet light (d) When passing through glass, red light travels slower than violet light Choose between (a), (b), (e) and (d)!
(Bonus point) Explain why different colors are observed when white light passes through a prism (figure below). Explain the order of the colors and the equation that describes it. 5. 03 ö: angle of deviatiorn
