    Study Notes

    Colors of White Light

    • White light consists of seven main colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
    • Order of colors by decreasing wavelength:
      • Red > Orange > Yellow > Green > Blue > Indigo > Violet
    • Order of colors by increasing energy and frequency:
      • Violet > Indigo > Blue > Green > Yellow > Orange > Red

    Relationship Among Frequency, Energy, and Wavelength

    • Frequency and energy are directly related, while frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
    • Higher frequency means higher energy and shorter wavelength.
    • Lower frequency corresponds to lower energy and longer wavelength.

    Refraction and Dispersion of Light

    • Rainbows are formed by the dispersion of white light through a prism.
    • Different colors bend at different angles due to varying refractive indices.
    • Violet light bends the most, while red light bends the least.

    Visual Spectrum and Wavelengths

    • Visible spectrum shows light in the range of 380-750 nm.
    • Shorter wavelengths (e.g., violet) have higher frequency and energy, while longer wavelengths (e.g., red) have lower frequency and energy.
    • Index of refraction varies among colors:
      • Violet (1.530) > Indigo (1.526) > Blue (1.524) > Green (1.519) > Yellow (1.518) > Orange (1.514) > Red (1.512)
    • Refraction occurs when light moves between media of different optical densities.
    • Light slows down and changes direction when entering a denser medium, leading to bending towards the normal.
    • White light can be separated into its component colors through a prism due to differences in speed and wavelength.

    Questions and Concepts

    • Highest frequency and energy color: Violet.
    • Longest wavelength color: Red.
    • Incorrect statement about wavelength and frequency: Short wavelength corresponds to low frequency.
    • Color between blue and violet: Indigo.
    • Color that bends the most: Violet, which has the highest refractive index.

    Conclusion

    • Understanding the behavior of light, including refraction and dispersion, is key to comprehending natural phenomena like rainbows and the visible spectrum.
    • The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy is fundamental in physics, particularly in understanding electromagnetic waves.
