3) An experiment is conducted using a prism and two monochromatic laser source. Draw ray tracing for a blue beam and orange beam coming to triangular prism made out of glass. Orange light has the wavelength of 600 X 10-9 and blue is 500 X 10-9 meters. How does this experiment explains the colors of rainbow.
