Light Beam Path for a Prism
The light beam dispersion rainbow color effect of a prism. When white light shines on a prism surface it is broken down to different color components based on wavelength and refractive index variations.
Light Beam Path for a Prism
The refractive index for light at the interface between two media varies with the wavelength of the light.
- Blue light: wavelength λ between 420 and 490 nm
- Red light: wavelength between 650 to 750 nm
