EduNinjaThe diagram shows the effect of a prism on white light.
Some light is reflected on striking the prism and some is refracted and dispersed to form a spectrum.
What happens if monochromatic light is used instead of white light?
The light changes colour as it passes through the prism.
The light forms a brighter spectrum.
There is no reflected light.
There is no dispersion of the emerging light.
