About this document
Investigating Deviation in Hollow Prism by Ruchi Biswas is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A prism refracts light due to the change in speed of light when moving between different optical materials. The degree that light bends depends on the refractive indices of the materials and the angle of incidence. Different colors of light refract differently, causing dispersion and the separation of white light into a visible spectrum. Newton used prisms to show that white light consists of mixed colors, and that the prism separates the different colors rather than creating them. The experiment determines
