Human Eye and Colourful World

Short Answer Type

How will you use two identical prisms so that a narrow beam of white light incident on one prism emerges out of the second prism as white light? Draw the diagram.

For this, one prism is placed near another prism so that one prism is in erect position and another prism is in inverted position. When ray of white light enters the first prism, dispersion of light takes place. When lights of different colours pass through the second prism, they recombine to make a ray of white light
