Dispersion of White Light: Splitting of white light into seven colors when passing through a prism ‘Spectrum: The band of seven colors formed, Color Sequence: VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yeltow, Orange, Red). Causes: + Varying refraction indices of different colours. ‘+ wavelength of light when passing through transparent medium like prism, Newton's Experiment: Used a second inverted prism to recombine the spectrum into white light, proving sunlight is made up of seven colors. White Light: Any light producing similar spectrum to sunlight is called white light. Red is the least deviated colour as it has largest/longest wavelength. Violet is the most deviated colour as it has smallest wavelength in visible spectrum. Natural spectrum: Rainbow : Refraction of Sunlight -- Dispersion into Colors -- Internal = Reflection -- Refra: Rainbow: A natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower, caused by the dispersion of sunlight by tiny water droplets in the ‘atmosphere. Mechanism: Water droplets act like prisms, refracting and dispersing sunlight, reflecting it internally, and refracting it again Color Sequence: Red at the top, violet at the bottom, Formation Direction: Always opposite to the sun, ‘The refraction of light caused by the Earth's atmosphere (having air layers of varying optical densities) ‘Stars Twinkle Caused by atmospheric refraction; starlight bends as it enters Earth's atmosphere, causing stars to appear to change position and flicker. Advanced Sunrise & Delayed Suns Sun appears ~2 minutes before sunrise and after sunset due to atmospheric refraction. The Sun's disc also appears flattened at these times. Why Planets Don't Twinkle Planets are closer and seen as extended sources, averaging ‘out the light variations and reducing the twinkling effect. Scattering of Light Scattering of light occurs when light is absorbed by particles and then re-emitted in different directions. Red Sun at Sunrise/Sunset During sunrise and sunset, sunlight travels a fonger distance through the atmosphere. Blue light is scattered away, while red light, with a longer wavelength, reaches the observer's eyes, making the sun appear red. Blue Sky due to the scattering of sunlight by small air molecules and fine particles. Blue light, having a shorter wavelength, scatters more than red light, making the sky appear blue, ‘Tyndall Effect: + Light scatters when it strikes particles in a caloid, ‘making the light path visible. ‘Seen in sunlight passing through mist or a dense forest canopy ‘Smaller particles scatter blue light, while larger particles seatter red light.
