The extent of bonding of a light ray after passing through prism depends upon:

Correct answer: A. Wavelength of photons

  • A. Wavelength of photons
  • B. Wave number of photons
  • C. Energy of photons
  • D. Frequency of photons

Explanation

Explanation:The extent of bonding of a light ray after passing through prism depends upon wavelength of photons. Wave number of photons is inversely proportional to the wavelength, and is related to the energy of photons, but it is not a factor that determines the extent of bonding in a prism. Energy of photons is related to their frequency and wavelength, but it is not a factor that determines the extent of bonding in a prism. The extent of bonding of a light ray after passing through the prism depends upon wavelength of photons, not on frequency of photons.

About Optics

Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
