CASE STUDY

1. Light of all the colour travel at the same speed in vacuum for all wavelengths. But in any transparent medium(glass or water), the light of different colours travel with different speeds for different wavelength that means that the refractive index of a particular medium is different for different wavelength. As there is a difference in their speeds, the light of different colour bend through different angles. The speed of violet colour is maximum and the speed of red colour is minimum in glass so, the red light deviates least and violet colour deviates most. Hence, higher the wavelength of a colour of light, smaller the refractive index and less is the bending of light.
λr > λv and rn < vn, v=c/λ.

Question : Which of the following statements is correct regarding the propagation of light of different colours of white light in air?
(a) Red light moves fastest.
(b) Blue light moves faster than green light.
(c) All the colours of the white light move with the same speed.
(d) Yellow light moves with the mean speed as that of the red and the violet light.
Answer : C

Question : Which colour which has maximum frequency?
(a) Red
(b) Violet
(c) Blue
(d) Green
Answer : B

Question : Which of the following is the correct order of speed of light in glass?
(a) Red> Green> Blue
(b) Blue> Green> Red
(c) Violet> Red> Green
(d) Green> Red> Blue
Answer : B

Question : Which of the following is the correct order of wavelength?
(a) Red> Green> Yellow
(b) Red> Violet> Green
(c) Yellow> Green> Violet
(d) Red> Yellow> Orange
Answer : C

 

2.Eyes are organs that allow you to see. They take in light from the world around you and send visual information to your brain.
