Question #1
When white light passes through a glass prism, it splits into a spectrum of seven colors. Which color deviates the least?
A. Blue
B. Red
C. Violet
D. Yellow

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Dispersion occurs because different colors of light travel at slightly different speeds inside the glass prism, meaning they have different refractive indices. Red light has the longest wavelength, the lowest refractive index in glass, and therefore deviates (bends) the least. Violet has the shortest wavelength and deviates the most.

Question #2
The phenomenon of total internal reflection requires the light to travel from:
A. Air to glass
B. Any medium to vacuum
C. Glass to air
D. Water to glass

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total internal reflection (TIR) occurs only when light travels from denser medium to rarer medium (e.g., glass to air, water to air) and angle of incidence exceeds critical angle. Air to glass (A) causes refraction toward normal; water to glass (C) may or may not cause TIR depending on refractive indices; vacuum is rarer than any medium but TIR requires denser→rarer. Memory aid: 'TIR condition: denser→rarer AND i > θ_c'. This optics condition question is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always verify both conditions (medium order and angle) for TIR; competitive exams often test common misconceptions about direction of travel.

Question #3
Dispersion occurs because:
A. TIR occurs
B. Different colors have different speeds in medium
C. Prism absorbs colors
D. Different frequencies

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
n varies with λ ⇒ v = c/n varies ⇒ different refraction angles (Snell's law). Frequency constant; wavelength changes in medium. Memory aid: 'Dispersion: n(λ) ⇒ v(λ) ⇒ different bending; violet bends most'. Optics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
