By the early 19th century‚ evidence that light is a wave had grown very persuasive. In 1873‚ James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves and calculated

2-8 Refraction and polarization of light 5. Experiment Results A. Linearity of light 1. The light beam does go straight when we tested on the angle board. 2. As the source of light beam was getting farther away from the slit‚ the beam becomes narrower and shorter in addition to fading. This is because light particles escape more when they travel to go through the slit. B. Law of reflection Angle of incidence is the angle formed by a ray incident on a surface

Dispersion Of White Light by a Glass Prism: When a beam of white light is passed through a glass prism‚ it is split up into a band of colours called spectrum. This is called dispersion of white light. The spectrum of white has the colours violet‚ indigo‚ blue‚ green‚ yellow‚ orange and red (VIBGYOR). The red light bends the least and the violet light bends the most. A rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower. It is caused by the dispersion of sunlight by water
