Prism

Learning objectives

  • To know that white light is the addition of all colors of light.
  • To illustrate the separation of light through a prism.
  • To explain the selectivity of a L.A.S.E.R in terms of wavelength.

An illustration of light dispersion (separation of light into component colors) through a prism. One of the most important properties of L.A.S.E.R light is illustrated here: It is a monochromatic light (it has a very narrow frequency spectrum).
