How to keep 2 prisms to get a white light as output after dispersion of white light draw and explain?

Expert Solution

When light pass through a prism it splits into seven colours together called colour spectrum , in which different colours comes out at different angles such that red at least and voilet at maximum angle .

When we place two prisms in such way that 2nd one is placed inverted with respect to other , and when light incident on it it comes out as white light .

When light incident on 1st one , voilet or say blue (as both have shorter wavelength) light diverges the most due to shorter wavelength and red least due to higher wavelength and vice versa happens for the inverted prism as red light passes through thick part of prism and blue on thinner part of prism.

The angle of deflection or say divergence is equal and opposite for both prisms.

Thev 2nd prism converges the light spectrum coming out of 1st prism and comes out of 2nd prism as white light as a emergent light.

The diagram for the arrangement can be made as following:

Experiment 2 – Light Independent Reaction After the light dependent reaction, the light independent takes place. During this phase, also known as the Calvin Cycle, the energy generated in the light independent phase is used to fixate the carbon atoms from carbon dioxide and glucose is produced. In this experiment you will use baby spinach leaves to demonstrate the utilization of carbon dioxide during the light independent reaction of photosynthesis.

A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle ?a.(Figure 1) Since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. The indices of refraction in diamond are nred=2.410 for red light and nblue=2.450 for blue light. The surrounding air has nair=1.000. Note that the angles in the figure are not to scale.
