When white light passes through a rectangular prism, will dispersion occur? Will emerging light ray comes out as a single white light ray or as seven different colors?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
As long as the sides the light enters and exits through are at different angles, dispersion will occur.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
