FAQs on HC Verma Solutions: Chapter 20 - Dispersion & Spectra - Physics Class 11 - NEET

1. What is dispersion in the context of optics?
Ans. Dispersion refers to the phenomenon where different colors of light separate and spread out when passing through a medium. This occurs because the refractive index of the medium varies with the wavelength of light, causing different colors to bend at different angles.
2. How does a prism disperse white light?
Ans. A prism disperses white light by refracting different colors of light at different angles. When white light enters a prism, it undergoes multiple refractions and reflections within the prism. The different colors of light are refracted at different angles, causing them to separate and form a spectrum.
3. What is the relationship between the angle of deviation and the refractive index of a medium?
Ans. The angle of deviation is directly proportional to the refractive index of a medium. This means that as the refractive index increases, the angle of deviation also increases. The relationship between the two can be expressed mathematically as: Angle of Deviation = (Refractive Index - 1) x Angle of Prism.
4. How does dispersion affect the formation of rainbows?
Ans. Dispersion plays a crucial role in the formation of rainbows. When sunlight passes through water droplets in the atmosphere, it undergoes dispersion, causing the different colors of light to separate. This separation of colors creates the beautiful arc of a rainbow, with red on the outer edge and violet on the inner edge.
5. What are the applications of dispersion in everyday life?
Ans. Dispersion has several practical applications in everyday life. Some examples include: - The functioning of prisms in optical devices such as cameras, binoculars, and spectrometers. - The creation of colorful displays in devices like televisions and computer screens. - The design of optical fibers used in telecommunications to transmit different wavelengths of light simultaneously. - The production of colorful pigments in paints, dyes, and printing inks. - The analysis of elements and compounds in spectroscopy by studying the unique spectral lines produced by their dispersed light.
